THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE WALKIING EYE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC THAT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PERFECT. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
WHAT AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THIS SCARCE ALBUM
THE STEREO AUDIO IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. LOUD AND POWERFUL AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHICH INDICATES NO GROOVE WEAR
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO CRACKLE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THE VERY ODD TINY SPECK OF STATIC AND A COUPLE STATIC TICS (NEAR INAUDIBLE) DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS IS TRULY A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM
A FLAWLESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING, ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS A SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP END
