PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT GRADE
NEAR MINT GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE HARVEST LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THE BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHERE THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE
THE VINYL
THE DISC LOOKS VERY CLEAN. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE SOME MARKS IN THE DEAD WAX RUN IN AND A SMALL SCUFF NEAR THE START OF TRACK ONE (NON SOUNDING)
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO LOUD CRACKLE. NO LOUD CLICKS, NO SKIPS OR JUMPS
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO, PLUS 3-4 LITTLE DUST TICS
THE MARK IN THE DEAD WAX CAUSES A COUPLE OF NOISES BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTS HOWEVER
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THISDISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
NON LAMINATED MATTE TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
