THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC  SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPERB ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. YOU CAN TELL THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED JUST BY LOOKING AT HOW THE RECORD STILL GLEAMS. THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO THE SPOTLIGHT ARE THERE A COUPLE OF WISPY LINES  AND ONE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, INCLUDING THE RUN IN'S, RUN OUT'S AND THE LINKING GROOVES. IT'S ALL HERE. . I DO THIS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS TO PERFECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH THE STEREO REPRODUCTION CLEAR AS A BELL AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE APART FROM A FEW ROTATIONS IN THE DEAD WAX RUN OUT TO SIDE ONE AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC EITHER

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE MINUSCULE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
