 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 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 HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE, AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THE 12" PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY 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

I HEARD JUST ONE SMALL DUST POP

THERE IS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND A FEW TINY STATIC TICS ON THE B SIDE IN PLACES

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

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