BILLY JOEL WHITE LABEL TRIO - STRANGER / STREET / HOUSES

BILLY JOEL WHITE LABEL TRIO - STRANGER / STREET / HOUSES

All three LPs have been cleaned, play tested, cleaned again (so they're 'fresh' for you) and sleeved in archival outers and inners.

Cleaning is performed with a VPI 16.5 using Disc Doctor Miracle Record Cleaner, followed by a distilled water rinse.  Separate brushes and vacuum wands are used for each step.

Play testing is performed on a Clearaudio Performance SE, equipped with the Satisfy Carbon tonearm and a Sumiko Blue Point 3 Low MC cartridge.

Condition:
1. Stranger and Houses have nothing beyond the usual light scuffing caused by the factory inner sleeves.
2. 52nd Street does have minor scratches, the worst of which I captured in photos as best I could.
3. Play testing of all three revealed nothing beyond the usual light background noise encountered with mass market vinyl - most noticeable between tracks and during quieter passages.  NONE of it overpowered the music.  
4. The scratches on 52nd Street posed no problem whatsoever; the Sumiko tracked cleanly right through them. NO SKIPS.  NO JUMPS.
