THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE PINK SCROLL CHARISMA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, THE PINK BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, NO LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE . IT GLEAMS LIKE A NEW RECORD
IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD LOOKS PERFECT AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO IT ONLY SHOWS A FEW TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE CLARITY IS MAGNIFICENT
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE AUDIO COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAN
TOTALLY SILENT IN THE LINKING GROOVES
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES CLICKS, TICS OR POPS AT ANY POINT
i HEARD NO MORE THAN A FEW SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS PLAYS SUPERBLY EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
DON T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
