THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 TINY SPIDERS LINE BY THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS MINT
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
THERE ARE ALSO 3-4 LIGHT HANDLING LINES VISIBLE UNDER THESE LIGHTS
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THIS RARE RECORDING IS THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER
THIS MEANS THE GROVVES REMAIN UNDAMAGES AS THE SOUND AND INSTRUMENTATION ARE CRYSTAL CLAR AND CLEAN ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO STICKS, OR JUMPS OR ANY OTHER SERIOUS ISSUE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER EITHER
NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES, AND SIDE ONE PLAYS SUPERBLY
WHT YOU WILL HEAR DURING SOME OF THE TRACKS ARE SOME RANDOM TICS AND POPS. NOT ALL OF THEM SOME PLAY PERFECTLY THROUGHOUT
THERE IS ALSO A COUPLE OF LIGHT EXAMPLES OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN A LINKING GROOOVE OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPECKS IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO AS WELL
THERE IS STILL HUGE ENJOYMENT TO BE GAINED FROM THIS RECORD AS IT PLAYS SO WELL WITH A FEW MINOR IRRITANTS
MUST GRADE EX
THE SLEEVE
