EX+ 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PURPLE LABELS ARE IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO PERFECT
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISCS HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THEIR ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THEY STILL LOOK PRISTINE
THE TEST PLAY
IT IS VERY UNUSUAL TO BE ABLE TO OFFER A PERFECT MINT SET OF 'MADE IN JAPAN' RECORDS, BUT HERE THEY ARE!!
THIS ALBUM SET PLAYS TO PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND PRECISE
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH ALL FOUR SIDES.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
NO TICS OR POPS
NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER
A DEEP RICH AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND THROUGHOUT
NO TICS OR POPS
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
