THE LABELS
FIRST ISSUE KHAKI LABELS IN MINT CONDITION
NO RUBBING TO THE COLOURS AND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS ONE SPIDER LINE ON EACH SIDE
THE VINYL
THE RECORDS GLEAM LIKE BRAND NEW DISCS. THEY HAVE NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THEY STILL LOOK SUPERB, JUST A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT NON SOUNDING DULL MARKS
SUBLIME LOOKING RECORDS
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE VERY QUIET WITH ONLY A COUPLE HAVING A TINY BIT OF VERY LOW LEVEL NATURAL VINYL NOISE
A SUPREMELY CLEAN AND SUPERB STEREO SOUND . IT JUST HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES IN 53 YEARS
I CAN ONLY GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
