THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DEEP BLUE AND SILVER UNBOXED STEREO LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL STILL RETAINS THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IS MAGNIFICENT AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT STILL LOOKS SUPERB WITH JUST A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE INCREDIBLE STEREO SOUND COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAR ON ALL TRACKS, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF GROOVE WEAR, MEANING THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO HEAVY CRACKLES AND CLICKS WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER.
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
A FEW SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
A REALLY BRILLIANT COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT PLAYS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL AS YOU WILL HEAR AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
