THE LABELS
FIRST ISSUE KHAKI LABELS IN MINT CONDITION
NO RUBBING TO THE COLOURS AND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS NO SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PRISTINE
A MINT RECORD
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE LINKING GOROOVES ARE VERY QUIET WITH ONLY A COUPLE HAVING A TINY BIT OF VERY LOW LEVEL NATURAL VINYL NOISE
A SUPREMELY CLEAN AND SUPERB STEREO SOUND . IT JUST HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED IN 50 YEARS
I CAN ONLY GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
