THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE MAGENTA CHARISMA SCROLL LABELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL LADY OWNER HAS WRITTEN HER HAME ACROSS ONE SIDE WHICH LOOKS TO BE IN PENCIL SO MAY RUB OFF. OTHER THAN THAT THE COLOUR IS RICH, VIBRANT AND FULL RUNS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THERE ARE 13-3 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD HAS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS IN DAYLIGHT. WHERE IT LOOKS SPOTLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I SEE SOME ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES AND SOME TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
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 CLEAN THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, MEANING THAT THE AMOUNT OF PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A GOOD UNWORN STYLUS AND ONE THAT WAS TRACKING AT THE CORRECT WEIGHT
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRISP AND CLEAR, AND HAS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES THROUGH THE PLAY
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
A LITTLE RANDOM LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
PERHAPS 2-3 TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
SO PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
