THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TAN AND RED EMI LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. I CANNOT SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS.

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE.

THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. SIDE TWO HAS A FEW NON AFFECTING VINYL PRESS MARKS ON THE VERY OUTER EDGE OF THE DISC. OUTSIDE THE DEAD WAX EVEN

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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. .

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, SO NO GROOVE WEAR.

PERHAPS ONE OR TWO OF THE TINIEST SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO IT YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
