THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 50 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED.
EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN SOME NON SOUNDING EMBEDDED DULL STREAK LINES
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 FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THE ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION,I HEARD JUST THE ODD SPECKLE OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES. I ALSO HEARD 3-4 VERY TINY LITTLE TICS DURING THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE ONE. VERY UNDERSTATED THOUGH
SIDE TWO PLAYS TO PERFECTION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT / MINT IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
