THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS ALSO RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPS
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS
THE VINYL PLAYS TO PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
SUPERB PLAYTHROUGH FROM START TO FINISH
