THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING THST THE RECORD HAS BEEN VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED AND BARELY PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS PRTSINE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST AND WISPIEST SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE IS JUST INCREDIBLE. TOTALLY FIRST PRESS SOUND
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO POPS OR TICS AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE RANDOM SPECKS OPF STATIC
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE LP AND BE THE JUDGE OF IT'S QUALITY
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO PERFORMANCE MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
SUPER GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE
THE FRONT LAMINATED SURFACE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR
THE FRONT HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS WHATSOEVER. THERE IS NO LAMINATE PEEL, LIFT OR FLAKE.
