THE LABELS

THE RED AND SILVER  LABELS ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. DEEP RICH RED COLOUR THAT FULLY RUNS INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THERE ARE 4-5 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS LITTLE PLAY

THE RECORD

SUPERB HEAVYWEIGHT GLOSSY VINYL THAT IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS  EVEN THEN THERE ARE JUST A FEW VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES


PLAYING THE RECORD


THIS ALBUM PLAYS CLEANLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH A CLEAN SHARP STEREO SOUND THAT IS LOUD AND POWERFUL

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO SKIPS OR STICKS OR JUMPS

SUPERB CLEAR GUITAR WORK AND VOCALS

THERE IS A TINY BIT OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW LINKING GROOVES AND IN SOME  OF THE MOST SILENT TRACKS, PLUS ON SIDE TWO A LITTLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE THAT IS ONLY HEARD IN THE LINKING GROOVES

THERE ARE SOME LIGHT OCCASIONAL LITTLE STATIC TICS / DUST POPS AT RANDOM 

  I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO EX+

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

LAMINATED FRONT, NON LAMINATED REAR WITH FLIPBACKS

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS VERY GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT SHOWS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE

THE FOUR CORNERS HAVE A VERY TINY BIT OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS

NO RING WEAR  JUST A LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NINE SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. SEVEN  ALONG THE TOP EDGE,  THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE  , AND TWO  SMALL THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
