THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK HATTER LABELS AREI N INCREDIBLE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY IT, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 52 YEARS
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL . THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS NEAR SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
NO VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS, SKIPS STICKS OR JUMPS
NO TICS OR POPS AT ALL
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
