THE LABELS

THE GREY LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SPIDER LINES , SHOWING WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED. 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A FEW NON SOUNDING EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

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

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND NOISE WHATSOEVER ANYWHERE ON THE ALBUM.  AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS.

NO CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND BARELY ANY STATIC AT ALL, OTHER THAN A  LITTLE IN  A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD ONE OR TWO TINY STATIC TICS HERE AND THERE DURING THE PLAY

THIS IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING IT MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
