THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE MAUVE  LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. 

THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 TINY SPIDERS LINE BY THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. 

ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS.

 EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES 

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE RECORD PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS 

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR

NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH JUST A TINY BIT OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND OCCASIONALLY AUDIBLE
