THE LABELS
BOTH MAUVE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS SMALL NUMBER OF SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB.
LOOKS COMPLETELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT ONLY SHOWS A COUPLE OF FINE HANDLING LINES AND A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
SUPERB STEREO SOUND BOTH LOUD AND CRISP.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ENSURING THAT THE VINYL WAS PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY GRADED STYLUS.
ABSOLUTELY NO CLICKS JUST A FEW TINY POPS
THERE IS ALSO NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER
A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AND A COUPLE OF INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EX+
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND GRADE IT FOR YOURSELF
