REVIEW 1ST PLACE COMBO DIVISION ONCE I LOVED ON A CLEAR DAY , THE SOUND OF SOUL 1ST PLACE VOCAL ENSEMBLE DIVISION BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE/THE CHANGE IN MY MIND ,
RECORD CONDITION IS VERY GOOD TO VERY GOOD ,
THE RECORDS HAVE A MILD DISH WARP THAT DOES NOT AFFECT PLAY, I LISTENED TO BOTH DISCS ENTIRELY, THE PLAYING SURFACE IS STILL PRETTY CLEAN WITH SOME MOSTLY LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES AND SOME MINOR SCUFF MARKS BUT IT S NOT COVERED WITH SURFACE MARKS, MOSTLY THE SURFACE MARKS DO NOT DRAMATICALLY AFFECT PLAYBACK WITH DISTRACTING SURFACE NOISE, THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH OVERWHELMINGLY AND THE CRACKLING SURFACE NOISE IS MOSTLY LIGHT AND IN THE BACKGROUND OR DROWNED OUT ENTIRELY,
THE TWO SONGS BY MSINGI WORKSHOP SOUND GREAT,
HEARD A SINGLE POP/CLICK ON MARY GRIFFIN TRYIN TIME SONG THAT IS NOTICEABLE AND WORTH MENTIONING,
PLAYS WITH GREAT SOUND QUALITY, DID NOT HEAR MUCH DISTRACTING SURFACE NOISE DURING THE SONGS ASIDE FROM A FEW SONGS NEAR THE END OF SIDE FOUR PLAYING WITH LIGHT CRACKLE SURFACE NOISE DURING THE SONGS, WHICH IS THE WEAKEST PART OF THE ALBUM IN MY OPINION, A FEW MINOR CLICKS DURING A FEW SONGS, AND A LOUDER POP/CLICK DURING A SONG AT THE END OF SIDE FOUR,
COVER CONDITION IS VERY GOOD, COVER HAS STORAGE RING WEAR ON BACK AND MORE NOTICEABLY THE FRONT, TOP EDGE HAS A SEAM SPLIT FROM THE OPENING OF 4 INCHES AND 1 INCH.
