THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN ORIGINAL UNMOLESTED CONDITION. THE RED BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT. THERE ARE 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS A HEAVYWEIGHT DISC AND SHINES LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOS FLAWLESS. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO ALL I SEE ARE A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW EMBEDDED GREY FLECKS IN THE VINYL (ALL NON SOUNDING)
THE TEST PLAY
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION, MEANING THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD TICS OR CLICKS
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
ALL I HEARD WERE A COUPLE OF SPLITS SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC INA SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO
NO TICS OR POPS
A REALLY SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS 1969 CLASSIC
HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO MINT MINUS
