NO BARCODE ON THE SLEEVE
NEAR MINT SLEEVE WITH MINT INNER
- THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND BLACK COLOURED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER A MAGNIFYING HALO I CAN SEE ONE VERY FINE NON SOUNDING SURFACE HANDLING LINE
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
STAGGERING AUDIO, FREE FROM ANY NOISES WITH SILENT LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
