THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE AND PURPLE LABELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY IT
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY . THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS NEAR SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
