THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE  BLACK LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. 

THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR IS ONLY INTERRUPTED AT THE SPINDLE HOLE BY THE TINIEST BIT OF RUB ON SIDE A

THE SILVER TEXT IS ALSO IN PERFECT CONDITION

THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES, AND I HAVE EXAMINED IT USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS


THE VINYL

 WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME VERY FINE  WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES VISIBLE


PLAYING THE RECORD


THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, 

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR

ALL I HEARD WAS A TINY BIT OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND BEHIND THE MUSIC SOMETIMES

A FEW TINY STATIC TICS
