THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RAINBOW LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS.BOTH SETS OF COLOURS ARE IN MINT CONDITION AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THERE IS ONE SPIDER LINE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LABEL
THE VINYL
FIRST PRESS VINYL IN GLEAMING AS NEW CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE . A TRULY MINT DISC!!
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD HOW IT WAS INTENDED. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND LOUD POPS, JUST A PURE CLEAN SOUND.
NOT ONE JOT OF STATIC OR VINYL NOISE, AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE VINYL PERFORMS TO THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
