THE RECORD
THE LABELS
SUPERB JET BLACK TRACK LABEL WITH SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINE ON ONLY ONE SIDE OF THE LABEL
THE VINYL
THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE.
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS.
ALL I HEARD DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND FOPR A SECOND OR TWO
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO DUST POPS OR EVEN STATIC TICS
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
