Visual and Play of the LP
This LP has been not only visually rated, but also each track has been played and listened to all the way through on a quality deck with a new stylus.
Side 1 - Visually graded Nearmint-/EX++ there are only one or two spindle markings. On the vinyl in very strong light I could see just two faint hairline marks on the whole surface. On play the vinyl was graded Excellent++ at least. On the whole side I heard no ticks, no clicks, no crackles or other background noises. And there were af course no hops, no sticks and no jumps either.
Side 2 - also visually EX++ there are no spindle markings visible at all on this side. Graded down from nearmint as I found two small scuff markings on track1, which were completely undetectable on the sound track. Play graded EX++ , no ticks, no clicks, no crackles, no hops, no jumps, just wonderful music.
