THE RECORD
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL SILVER AND BLACKSTEREO LABELS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND SILVER LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND IT SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THE RECORD LOOKS PERFECT.
THE TEST PLAY
THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
THE EARLY STEREO BEATLES RECORDINGS WERE ALL JUST INCREDIBLE. MANY MANY COPIES WERE PLAYED ON SYSTEMS THAT HAD A STYLUS THAT WAS TOO HEAVY OR WORN AND CAUSED INVISIBLE GROOVE WEAR. THIS WOULD ONLY BE SPOTTED OR SHOULD I SAY HEARD WHEN PLAYING THE ALUM AND WOULD TAKE THE FORM OF BEHIND THE MUSIC STATIC AND BE CONTINUOUS. THIS VINYL IS FLAWLESS!!!
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PALY WERE A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
NO CLICKS AND I AM CERTAIN I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANYNORE THA N A COUPLE FO VERY TINY POPS EITHER
A WORD ABOUT 'MICHELLE' THIS TRACK HAS A HISTORY OF SOUNDING TERRIBLE EVEN WHERE THE REST OF THE VINYL PLAYS PERFECTLY. THIS VERSION ON THIS ALBUM PLAYS FLAWLESSLY.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO NEAR MINT
