THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE  GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

THE  BLACK  TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, 

THERE ARE 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED AND THERE IS NO FOGGING OR ANY MARKS EITHER . IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN ONE SMALL WISPY HAIRLINE NEAR THE RUN OUT ON SIDE TWO

THE TEST PLAY

THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE 

SECONDLY THERE IS NO FRYING BACON OR LOUD CLICKS AND JUMPS. 

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO TICS OR POPS  

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS 

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF, AGAINST YOUR PERSONA; STANDARDS
