 THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE  BROWN LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. A SOLID BLACK BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK / RED TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE 4-5 SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLES SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS RECORD HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT 

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN JUST MAKE OUT A SINGLE HAIRLINE HANDLING LINE AND A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THE 12" 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 RECORD SOUNDS.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO  BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS

I HEARD A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF STATIC

AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE SOUND FROM START TO FINISH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS

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