Description
THE WHO - DIRECT HITS
SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO
THE SLEEVE IS EX
COMPLETED WITH THE LYRIC INSERT
THE RECORD
THE BLACK LABELS ARE STILL PRISTINE.
THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF MARKS OR STAINS ETC.
THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
WHEN LOOKED AT IN DAYLIGHT THIS RECORD LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF NON SOUNDING DULL STREAK LINES AND A FEW SMALL HAIRLINES
VISUALLY EX BUT PLAYS FAR SUPERIOR
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO CRACKLE ANYWHERE
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PALYTHROUGH WERE A FEW RANDOM TINY SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND AND ON SIDE TWO IN ADDITION A COUPLE OF TICS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
