    THE RECORDS

     

    THE LABELS

    THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED. 

     

    THE VINYL

    THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY NON SOUNDING SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES

    PLAYING THE RECORD


    THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.

    THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

    THERE IS THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES 

    I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS

    PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
