THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE / HATTER LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, . DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT ARE UNFADED
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND SHOWS 4-5 SMALL VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THEIR ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOK MAGNIFICENT. IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE EXCELLENT AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW VERY SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS SOME OCCASIONAL LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A NUMBER OF TINY LITTLE TICS AND POPS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
TAKE A LISTEN TO JUDGE IT IS FOR YOU
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO EX TO EX+
