THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANMT LABEL ERROR ON THIS COPY. QUITE SIMPLY THERE IS NO LABEL AT ALL ON SIDE B

THE ONE LABEL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. DEEP RICH UNRUBBED COLOURS AND TEXT. NO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND LOOKS MAGNIFICENT.
THERE ARE NO HANDLING MARKS TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A MINT RECORD

THE TEST PLAY


THE QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE AUDIBLE STATIC AT ALL

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY  STATIC DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

NO TICS OR POPS

THE PERFORMANCE I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE ONCE YOU HAVE HEARD THE RECORDINGS IS MAGNIFICENT.

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS THOUGH
