THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE  MATT BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.

THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE ARE A SMALL CLUSTER OF SPIDER LINES, CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED AND THERE IS NO FOGGING OR ANY MARKS  EITHER . EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW VERY VERY WISPY HAIRLINES THAT ARE OTHERWISE INVISIBLE

THE TEST PLAY

I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THE REPRODUCTION FROM THIS ALBUM IS JUST BRILLIANT. PURE FIRST PRESS AND THE DISC PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH. TRYING TO FIND A GREAT COPY OF THIS ALBUM IS VERY HARD  AND MOST COPIES ARE TRASHED WITH SLEEVES TO MATCH. HERE WE HAVE WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS A FAULTLESS PERFORMANCE.

THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE APART FROM THE GUITAR WORK THAT SHOULD SOUND DISTORTED OF COURSE. THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED OR WORN EITHER.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO TICS OR POPS

THIS AUDIO EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

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