THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS 1-2 SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT. IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD ONLY SHOWS A FEWTINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE
THE ODD TINY SPECKLE OF LIGHT AND VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF VERY TINY STATIC TICS OR POPS
