SUPERTRAMP - EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS

IN MAGNIFICENT 1 PLAY CONDITION

MAGNIFICENT MINT AUDIO

VERY CLEAN  MINT MINUS SLEEVE

SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM

AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VINYL THAT HAS AT THE MOST BEEN PLAYED JUST THE ONE TIME,

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREY BASE COLOUR IS IMMCULATE. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF MARKS OR STAINS ETC. THE COLOUR FULLY STRECTHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE IS JUST ONE REALLY TINY SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH I ONLY SPOTTED WHEN PLACED UPTO A SPOTLIGHT. 

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL, BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM A VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED ALBUM?

THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. JUST A FEW NORMAL WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. IT PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND THE FIRST THING THAT IS EVIDENT IS THAT THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE ONE CAREFUL PLAY THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD AN UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION' IS SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO CLICKS, AND INCREDIBLY BEARING IN MIND HOW MANY QUIET PASSAGES THERE ARE ON THIS ALBUM, NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

I HAVE NO HESITATION WHATSOEVER IN GRADING THIS SUPERB AUDIO MINT 

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
