Subjective

This press is in excellent condition, it is a beautifullooking record and retains all of its deep mirror-like lustre and shine and hasno apparent groove-wear.

Playing

I recently played it again, the tracks Ilistened to played through lovely.  Idon’t think it has any significant hissing, jumps, skips, between track crackleand nasty loud pops.

History

It has been in my collection since new andonly played a few times on a quality turntable.
