THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PIN RIM LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.
EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT ONLY SHOWS A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
TOTALLY SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
NOT EVEN ANY STATIC - THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT STANDARD.
