THE RECORD
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK STEREO LABELS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED . THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. I CAN'T SEE ANY MORE THAN 5-6 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
VERY CLEAN AND SHINY ALBUM/ IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE A FEW IMPERFECTIONS. THERE IS SOME NONE SOUNDING GREY FLECKING IN THE RUN OUT GROOVE TO SIDE TWO. ONE VERY TINY SURFACE LINE ON THE LAST TRACK OF SIDE ONE, AND A SLIGHTLY LARGER BUT AGAIN NON SOUNDING WAVY LINE BETWEEN TRACKS 2-3 ON SIDE TWO. OTHER THAN THIS JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES FROM SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL, AND A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED AND AGAIN NON SOUNDING DULL STREAKS ON SIDE TWO.
PLAYING THE RECORD
SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A STEREO PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM IS NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERB!! PRESSED LOUDLY EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS INTENDED
THE ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY ISSUES WHATSOEVER. A CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CLEAN RECORDING THAT PLAYS WITHOUT CLICKS, AND ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER
NO VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT OR NEAR SILENT
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WERE A FEW MINUSCULE SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST LITTLE STATIC DUST TICS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THIS IS A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE OF THIS AMAZING ALBUM
