THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,AND ALL OF THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UN-RUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. FINALLY
THERE ARE 102 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A NEW DISC, AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE WHATSOEVER. A PRISTINE DISC!!
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE STATIC DUST TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THIS SLEEVE IS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO FIND. IT HAS CLEARLY BEEN PERFECTLY HOUSED AND PROTECTED FROM NEW

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL IN PERFECT CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR IS THERE AND RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. ALL FOUR CORNER TIP ENDS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED
