THE TEST PLAY
THIS ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY THOUGH BOTH SIDES
THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ALL SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR OVERWEIGHT STYLUS
THE SOUND IS CRISP AND CLEAN
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISES
NO HEAVY CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF TRACKS ON SIDE ONE, IS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN SOME SPOTS AND SOME LITTLE TICS AND POPS AT RANDOM, AS THE SIDE PROGRESSES HOWEVER THE BACKGROUND IS ELIMTAED AND THERE ARE JUST A FEW LITTLE DUST TICS
SIDE TWO ONLY HAS SOME RANDOM TINY LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS HERE AND THERE
I GRADE THE AUDIO EX/EX+
THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN LOVELY CONDITION
THE COLOURS ARE STILL RICH AND VIRBANT AND NOT FADED, A FEW FLECK OF GREYING HERE AND THERE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A LITTLE RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES HAVE A LITTLE RUB AT THE CORNER TIPS
THE BOTTOM EDGES HAVE MORE RUB ON THE RIGHT CORNERS, AND ALSO A LITTLE ON THE LEFT CORNERS
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT. PRISTINE TYPEFACE AND NEAR PERFECT COLOUR FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN TOP CONDITION WITH ONLY THE TINIEST BIT OF RUB ON THE TOP
