THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TAN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT!! CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
THE BLACK LOGO AND TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS CLEAN AND STILL VERY GLOSSY. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOS FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO SEE SOME WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND ON SIDE ONE SOME NON SOUNDING ULTRA FINE SCUFF LINES
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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED EITHER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY SOME VERY OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO SOUND IS IMMENSE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A FEW TINY STATIC TICS / POPS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL EXCELLENT ++ FOR THE REPRODUCTION.
