THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE PERFECT AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE SPINDLE HOLE OR THE TYPEFACE

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLES

THE VINYL

THIS DISCS GLEAM LIKE A NEWLY PRESSED SET. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE, AND IN DAYLIGHT THEY ARE  FLAWLESS

EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORDS ARE IN TOP CONDITION

ALL I CAN SEE ARE A FEW TYPICAL NON SOUNDING TINY DULL STREAK LINES EMBEDDED
ON SIDE THREE THERE IS A SMALL MARK ON TRACK ONE WHICH IS TOTALLY NON SOUNDING AND A FINE NON SOUNDING HAIRLINE ON TRACK ONE SIDE 4

THE TEST PLAY

THE RECORDS PLAY WITH A LOUD CLEAN CRISP STEREO SOUND

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, WHICH IMPLIES THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR

SUPERB STEREO PERFORMANCE THROUGH BOTH DISCS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

SILENT STATIC FREE LINKING GROOVES

JUST A COUPLE OF TIYN DUST POPS

THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM THAT I HAVE HEARD

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL AND THE AUDIO MINT MINUS
