- THE RECORD
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED THESE ARE THE SMALLER LABELS THAT YOU WOULD USUALLY FIND ON SINGLES RATHER THAN LP['S I CANNOT SEE ANY MORE THAN 3-4MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE RECORD IS IN A SUPERBLY GLOSSY CONDITION. NO DULLING TO THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS NEAR PERFECT WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE JUST A FEW FINE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW EMBEDDED DULL SPOTS
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT WHICH INDICATES THAT THE PLAY THAT THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS THE VOCALS ARE ALL CLEAR AND CLEAN THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER ALL YOU WILL HEAR DURING THE FULL PLAY ARE A FEW SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND MOSTLY IN A FEW LINKING GROOVES AND A COUP[LE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES I AM SURE I DIDN'T HEAR AND POPS OR TICS
