THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE MAGENTA LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE DEEP COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

JUST ONE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

A GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THIS IS NATURALLY ALSO A HEAVY WEIGHT FIRST PRESS DISC.

IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL, AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS  SIDE ONE STILL LOOKS PERFECT, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES, 


THE TEST PLAY

THE RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND PURE FIRST PRESS. THE REPRODUCTION IS JUST SECOND TO NONE, AND EVERY NOTE IS CLEAR AND CRISP.

THERE IS NOT ONE SECOND OF DISTORTION TO THIS AMAZING SOUND, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT

A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS HEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAY , MORESO ON SIDE TWO

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

JUST A FEW RANDOM SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC HERE AND THERE, AGAIN MORE ON SIDE TWO

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  NEAR MINT / EX  FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN SO THAT YOU CAN GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF
