Description
VERY VERY DETAILED Sgt. Pepper Audio Test:
Repeating clicks on intro, goes to “They’ve been going in and out of style”
2 pops on the beginning of WALHFYF
Slightly quiet transition to Lucy in the Sky
VERY VERY slight distortion during the final verse of Lucy in the Sky
3 very quiet clicks on Getting Better, almost buried by the music
Quiet transition from Getting Better to Fixing a Hole
Pops on Fixing a Hole, some quiet and some medium leveled (not overbearing the music like a scratch but certainly audible)
(Side note: bass is really nice on this track)
Quiet transition from Hole to Home
Distortion before the 3rd verse of She’s leaving home, otherwise surprisingly not distorted throughout the entire song like other copies
Mr. Kite has distortion as well, more than She’s Leaving Home does, but only on the sung verses
Small surface noise throughout songs on side 1, does not overpower the music
3 clicks before Within You Without You’s fade intro begins, the scratch on photo 11 causes pops that are not as loud as I thought, at least until after the music build up, then the song becomes quiet and the scratch is loud. It ends during the last verse though. Otherwise, the audio sounds awesome on this song, it seriously blew me away how good these parlophone pressings are.
Same thing goes to When I’m Sixty Four, sounds great!
Other than 4 clicks at the start and a pop in the middle and at the end of the song, Lovely Rita sounded great!
Good Morning Good Morning sounds great
The real shocker is A Day in the Life, no pops, just very slight distortion at the peak of only the first build up, but there are 9 pops at the ending fadeout
Surprise Runout is present
Overall a great copy all around
