THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE GREEN AND ORANGE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS JUST A SMALL CLUSTER OF SPIDER LINES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
GLEAMING FIRST PRESS DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I SEE ONE VERY FINE HANDLING LINE ON TRACK TWO WHICH CAUSES A FEW VERY LIGHT TICS - SEE BELOW + SOME VERY FINE AND NON SOUNDING WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP IS THE INCREDIBLE REPRODUCTION. CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THE VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION
THERE ARE NO POPS OR TICS OTHER THAN A FEW ABSOLUTELY MINUSCULE AND BARELY AUDIBLE ONES TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK TWO, SIDE ONE
I HEARD A FEW TINY SPECKS OF EXTREMELY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE SILENT PASSAGES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO EX+
PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AFTER HAVING A THOROUGH LISTEN TO IT!!!!
