THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE WHITER LOGO IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR.
I DON'T SEE ANYE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLES
THE VINYL
THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT BOTH LOOK TOTALLY MINT.
AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE DULL MARKS AND A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
FIRSTLY THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION ON THIS VINYL IS JUST SUPERB, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE ON THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
THE FIRST TRACK ON SIDE THREE (INSTRUMENTAL) HAS SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND. THERE IS NOTHING VISIBLE ON THE VINYL THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS. THE REST OF THE SIDE AND ALL THREE OTHER SIDES PLAY TO PERFECTION
NO DUST POPS OR TICS EITHER
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
