THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW AND RED LABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT. BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND THERE IS JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE STICKER RESIDE MARK ON THE A SIDE AND A LITTLE RING RIB ON THE B SIDE
NO MORE THAN TWO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME OF THE NORMAL ULTRA FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF VERY VERY FINE HANDLING 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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS SOME LIGHT OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND HEARD AND A LITTLE MORE IN THE DEAD WAX START AND END
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN FOUTDUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE EXCELLENT PLUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS A NON ORIGINAL WHITE PLAIN DIE CUT SLEEVE
NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND NO RIPS TO THE DIE CUT HOLE
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS THE SAME AS THE FRONT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
