THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE LARGE MAD HATTER LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION SHOWING NO STAINS OR MARKS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR. THE TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

THERE ZERO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE 

 

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. 

IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. 

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PRISTINE


THE TEST PLAY


THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY. THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO PRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

THIS DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES HAVE A LITTLE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND, AND ALSO IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

A FEW RANDOM TINY DUST POPS

A FANTASTIC VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM

TAKE A LISTEN TO IT AND YOU WILL HEAR FOR YOURSELF 

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS  EX++

 JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
