 THE RECORD

THE LABELS

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

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS ONE SPIDER LINE 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 FEW TINY 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, AND NO STATIC EITHER

THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS

NO STATIC LIKE ABCKGROUND ANYWHERE

AN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE SOUND FROM START TO FINISH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT 

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