THE RECORD

THE LABELS

 THE LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT, NO HANDLING MARKS OR STAINS. .
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE CREAMY WHITE AREAS ARE BEAUTIFULLY WHITE, AGAIN NO MAN MADE MARKS.

 THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED. 

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND EVEN PLACED UNDER A MAGIFYING LED HALO I CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT 2-3 VERY FINE BUT TINY WISPY HAIRLINES 

THE TEST PLAY

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW IT DOES SOUND. 

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO RECORDING IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE. ALL I HEARD WERE TWO OR THREE ABSOLUTE  MINIMAL SPECKS OF STATIC

NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS

SILENT OR NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO TICS OR POPS

A TRULY MAGNIFICENT PLAYTHROUGH AND ONE THAT GRADES MINT MINUS

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THIS IS A FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE
