THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE YELLOW STONES LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON EACH SIDE, VISIBLE ONLY UNDER STRONG ILLUMINATION, TO INDICATE THAT THIS SUPERB STONES ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER BEEN ON A TURNTABLE A COUPLE OF TIMES SINCE IT'S RELEASE IN 1978

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. 

EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SINGLE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINE

THE TEST PLAY

THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS VINYL IS THAT THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD VERY CLEARLY AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ALL THROUGHOUT ANY PART OF THE PLAY THROUGH. NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS 

THIS DISC PLAYS TO VIRTUAL PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH. NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO MORE THAN THE ODD BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF STATIC HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES.

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 MINUSCULE STATIC DUST TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS VINYL AS MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS!!
