SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RAINBOW CLOUD LABELS ARE IN JUST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT ANYWHERE. IT ALSO STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE STUDY OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS JUST A FEW VISIBLE SPIDER LINES ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
GLEAMING DISC THAT HAVE RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN.
WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD LOOKS PRISTINE APART FROM A SCUFF ON EACH SIDE WHICH DO NOT SOUND
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.
THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER
SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND ONLY A FEW RANDOM TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I HEARD JUST 3-4 TINY LITTLE DUST TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUST HIT THE PLAY BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE THING AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
