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 8 OR SO SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS I
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I CAN SEE ARE A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND THREE TINY DULL PATCHES ON THE SURFACE, PLUS A COUPLE OF SMALL VERY FINE HANDLING LINES
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
CLEAR AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT
THE VULNERABLE 'MICHELLE' HAS A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND
THERE IS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AUDIBLE IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT DUST POPS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
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 EX

THE TOP EDGE HAS PERFECT LAMINATE WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A MINUSCULE SCUFF IN THE MIDDLE
