THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,AND ALL OF THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UN-RUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. FINALLY
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A NEW DISC, AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE WHATSOEVER. A PRISTINE DISC!!
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER,AS OF COURSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE WITH AN UNPLAYED DISC.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
