IRON MAIDEN - CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS

THREE TRACK 12" SINGLE

PLAYS NEAR MINT / EX

EX+ SLEEVE

THE RECORD LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT. DEEP BLACK COLOUR HAS NO MARKS OR FADING AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

HEAVY 1ST PRESS IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE JUST A FEW LIGHT SURFACE HAIRLINES 

THE TEST PLAY

THE VINYL PLAYS VERY NICELY AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO PRESS THE AUDIO BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE TO HEAR IT 

FIRSTLY THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRISP AND CLEAR, AND CLEAN

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND AT THE START OF EACH SIDE FOR A FEW ROTATIONS. SLIGHTLY LONGER ON THE B SIDE

I HEARD ONE TIC ON SIDE ONE AND SOME LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN TRACK 2 SIDE 2

A VERY CLEAR AND CLEAN AUDIO

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC NEAR MINT / EX  FOR THE AUDIO

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORK FOR IT, PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE
