WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THE ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, APART FROM THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE OEN , WHERE THERE IS A LITTLE EMBEDDED DISTORTION TO THE UADIO. THIS IS FROM THE FACTORY PRESS BECAUSE UNTIL TODAY THIS HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED. IT LASTS FOR A 20 OR SO SECONDS. aFTER THAT THE RECORD PLAYS MINT
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAR WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
