THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. UNDER A MAGNIFYING HALO IT STILL LOOKS STUNNING. JUST ONE ALMOST INVISIBLE SMALL WISPY HAIRLINE
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.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER
NO DUST POPS OR TICS
THE AUDIO IS CRISP AND CLEAR AND LOUD
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
