    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE EMI LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BLACK  BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED, 

    THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

    EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN'T SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER

    THE VINYL

    THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. 

    IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

    THE TEST PLAY

    THIS ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION FROM START TO FINISH

    NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION

    THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER

    NO STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT OR NEAR SILENT WITH JUST THE OCCASIONAL VERY TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE

    NO TICS OR POPS

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS  FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
