Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com THE RECORDTHE DUAL COLOURED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS.
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I CAN SEE ARE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES
THE 12" SINGLE LOOKS FLAWLESS UNDER ANY LIGHT
THE TEST PLAY
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE
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 RECORD SOUNDS
THE VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION.
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT WHICH MEANS NO GROOVE WEAR
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS A LITTLE NATURAL LOW LEVEL VINYL NOISE IN SOME LINKING GROOVES WHICH IS NORMAL FOR THESE 80'S PRESSINGS
I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO AND A COUPLE OF INSGNIFICANT MINUSCULE STATIC TICS
THE 12" SINGLE LOOKS UNPLAYED
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS THOUGH
