THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE VERTIGO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER AN LED MAGNIFYING HALO THERE ARE NO WISPY HAIRLINES AT ALL. THE RECORD LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A FEW RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SILENT PASSAGES
I CAN T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
