THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

 

THE VINYL

THE DISCS ABSOLUTELY GLEAM LIKE A POLISHED MIRRORS. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE NO WISPY HAIRLINES AT ALL
THE RECORDS ARE JUST MINT

PLAYING THE RECORD

I AM CERTAIN THAT THESE RECORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN PLAYED UNTIL TODAY
 
THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NOCLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND ALSO IN THE QUITEST PASSAGES

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
