THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE  LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE TEXTURED YELLOW BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE. THIS COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE  SPINDLE HOLE, A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES 

THE VINYL

THE LP SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THERE ARE NO MARKS AT ALL ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN'T SEE ANY IMPERFECTIONS 

THE TEST PLAY

THE DISC PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY , AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS RECORD SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. I CANNOT BE CRITICAL OF THIS REPRODUCTION  IN ANY WAY AT ALL.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE PLAYTHROUGH,

 THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO TICS OR POPS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH, AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX
