BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - BORN TO RUN
MAGNIFICENT MINT AUDIO
EX SLEEVE WITH INSERT
The first issue of this record had an incorrect spelling of produce 'Jon Landau' on the rear of the sleeve. It was mistakenly spelled as John and not Jon. Once spotted it was promptly replaced. This is the first sleeve with the incorrect spelling
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
CBS ORANGE LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINESTHE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW IN DAYLIGHT. IT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD ONLY SHOWS A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST INCREDIBLE. EVERY NOTE IS CRISP AND CLEAN, AND THE WHOLE ALBUM SOUNDS SUPERB ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR REPRODUCTION
I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY THE INCREDIBLE STEREO SOUND THIS RECORDING PRODUCES AND ALL OF THIS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
