THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE TAN BRONZE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE LIGHT AREA IS VERY CLEAN AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLUE LOGO IS CLEAN AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE BROWN TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR.
THERE ARE 4-5 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND 2-3 NON SOUNDING VERY FINE HANDLING LINES
THE TEST PLAY
FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.A POWERHOUSE PRODUCTION THAT IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THE SILENT PASSAGES ARE SILENT!! AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE TO BE HEARD AT ANY POINT
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIBLE STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOVES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
