THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS HAVE A SCAR ON ONE SIDE. THE COLOURS ARE UNFADED OR UNRUBBED, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE COLOURS STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW WITH AN ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS SHEEN, AND LOOKS TOTALLY MINT

AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THE RECORD SHOWS JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR. 

THE RECORD PLAYS TO  PERFECTION

THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, NO CLICKS OR STICK OR JUMPS

I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

NO MORE THAN 2-3 BARELY AUDIBLE TICS OR POPS EITHER

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT

TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
