THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. .
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC PIDER LINESCLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND EVEN PLACED UNDER A MAGIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STOILL LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
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 IT DOES SOUND.
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
ALL I HEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A FEW MINUSCULE AND BARELY AUDIBLE SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
A TRULY MAGNIFICENT PLAYTHROUGH AND ONE THAT GRADES MINT MINUS
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THIS IS A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE
