SCARCE 1971 PRESS

 


 

THE RECORD 

 

THE LABELS

THE BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE



THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. 

 EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, NO WISPY HAIRLINES WHATSOEVER

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 SILENT BITS ARE  SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

THE ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION

THE AUDIO QUALITY IS JUST AMAZING
NO STATIC OTHER THAN A VERY TINY BIT IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS

 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS  IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
