NEAR MNT SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
SUPERB UNMARKED RED LABELS
A BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THEBLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLES HOWS ONE VISIBLE TINY SPIDER LINE ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT .
UNDER A MAGNIFING LED HALO I CAN SEE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT WITH JUST THE ODD SPECKLE OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THEM AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES. SLIGHTLY MORE ON SIDE TWO
NO TICS OR POPS ON SIDE A. THERE ARE A FEW ON SIDE B
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT / EX
