THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ENSURING THE QUIETEST MOMENTS ARE CAPTURED HERE FOR YOU TO MAKE THE CALL.
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO 'CHILD IN TIME' WHICH IS THE QUIETEST TRACK AND WILL GIVE THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS VINYL
NO CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS TO SPOIL THIS FANTASTIC 1ST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED
I CANNOT FAULT THIS RECORD IN ANY WAY ON THE PLAYBACK
