THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .
THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 42YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NOT ONE JOT OF VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A FEW RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HERE AND THERE
I HEARD NO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
