THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT WITH AN UNRUBBED RED LOGO AND SILVER TYPEFACE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE .
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GLEAMING LIKE NEW IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING HALO THE RECORD ONLY SHOWS A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AUDIO REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND A STEREO RECORDING THAT HAS TO BE HEARD.
THERE ARE MANY OUTSTANDING PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE DISTURBED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES. NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT ANY PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED SINCE NEW WAS CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CLICKS AND VIRTUALLY NO STATIC
I CANT SAY THAT I HEARD ANY LITTLE DUST POPS EITHER
ALL I HEARD WAS A TINY BIT OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND AT THE START OF EACH SIDE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
