THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
SIDE ONE HAS BEEN NEATLY WRITTEN ON WITH THE TITLE INFORMATION
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS 1-2 MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF LIGHT HAIRLINES ON SIDE ONE AND A LITTLE WISPY ONE ON SIDE TWO
BEAUTIFUL LOOKING RECORD
