THE TEST PLAY

I DECIDED TO TEST PLAY JUST THE FIRST ALBUM WHICH CONSISTS OF SIDES 1 & 6

ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN, AND THAT IS THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER WHICH WOULD BE PRESENT IF THE RECORD HAD BEEN ABUSED WITH A WORN OR TOO HEAVY STYLUS CAUSING ANY GROOVE WEAR. NONE WHATSOEVER ON THIS DISC

THE RECORD PLAYS THROUGH WITH UTMOST CLARITY. THE PERFORMANCE ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES IS JUST OUTSTANDING.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

ALL I HEARD WHILST PLAYING THIS WEREONME OR TWO RANDOM BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND

AND A COUPLE OF DUST POPS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS  MINT MINUS
