THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE  COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS, 

AND EVEN  UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND A SMALL DULL MARK ON TRACK ONE / SIDE ONE

SUPERB LOOKING RECORD - WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. 

THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. 

THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. 

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, INDICATING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A FEW RANDOM SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY DUST POPS ON  SIDE A  DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH 

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS AS NEAR MINT / MINT MINUS    FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
