THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND WHITE LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITON. THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE OF THE VINYL HAS BEEN RETAINED WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS SPOTLESS. NO MARKS OR HANDLING LINES.
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE A VERY LIGHT HERRINGBONE SHADOW ON SIDE TWO (TOTALLY NON SOUNDING)
THE TEST PLAY
THE ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH. CLEARLY WHAT PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WHICH HAS A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND WEIGHTED STYLUS WHICH WAS ALSO IN UNWORN CONDITION
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE DECCA / DERAM FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAR WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO
THERE IS NO SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE AND ABSOLUTELY NO MORE THAN THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC WHATSOEVER
I CANNOT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
