THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS TRANSLUCENT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS PERFECT
