THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE BLUE MERCURY LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED. I DONT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORDS GLEAM LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISCS LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN SPOTLIGHTS THEY STILL LOOK MINT

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP'S PLAYSTHROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL FOUR SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS 

THE VINYL PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND NO STATIC EITHER. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

I HEARD SOME BACKGROUND HISS IN A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS SIDE 3. THIS IS PART OF THE RECORDING AND NOT A VINYL ISSUE. AS SOON AS THE LINKING GROOVE IS MET BY THE STYLUS THE NOISE STOPS, ENSURING IT IS NOT THE RECORD

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY TICS OR DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT  FOR THE AUDIO

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
