CONDITION
The Vinyl Near MINT
On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks awesome I can't see even a blemish. Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! Importantly There is (no) needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all !!!!!
UNPLAYED LOOKING CONDITION , SHOP FRESH !!!!
The Audio Quality NEAR MINT
I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system, the audio is awesome!
Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with (no) distortion or any signs of groove ware at all !!!!
Certainly (no) clicks pops or jumps!! As good as it gets in my opinion!!
THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES!
GRADED AS NEAR MINT!!
UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 32 YEARS OLD!!!!!
IN MY OPINION THESE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSINGS PRODUCE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY CAN NOT BE SURPASSED BY LATER PRESSINGS!!!
The Labels: MINT
These are superb ! ONLY ONE FAINT SPINDLE LINE can be seen only on each side,angled in strong light.
Confirming this has definitely been played ONCE or TWICE ONLY !!! For a vinyl that is 32 years old , AMAZING !!
