PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT GRADE
INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE

EX+ SLEEVE



THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

THE  BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHERE THERE ARE 3-4 SPIDER LINES

THE VINYL

THE DISC LOOKS EXCEPTIONAL. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. 
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS

UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE A FEW SMALL HAIRLINES WHICH ARE SURFACE ONLY

THE TEST PLAY

THIS STEREO ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. 

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. 

THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE 

ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH WERE A FEW MINUSCULE SPECKS OF LOW LEVEL BACKGROUNBD IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND TRACK ONE, SIDE TWO A COUPLE OF SPOT ROTATIONS OF LIGHT NOISE

THERE IS ALSO A TINY BIT OF LIGHT BACKGROUND AS SIDE TWO COMES TO A CLOSE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO  NEAR MINT
