THE LABELS
THE GREY LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION/ PRISTINE BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO AN UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO FREE FROM ANY RUBBING. THERE ARE 2-3 NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN A PERFECT AND SHINY CONDITION AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES WHICH HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND AS THEY ARE ALL SURFACE , PLUS SOME LIGHT EMBEDDED DULL FLECKING WHICH IS ALSO VERY COMMON ON VINYL OF THIS ERA
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 OF THE VINYL THAT I LIST. I AM CERTAIN BIDDERS OUT THERE WILL APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON RATHER THAN LEAVE IT TO POT LUCK.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED 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 THIS LP SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER,SHOWING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS BOTH UNWORN, AND TRACKING AT THE CORRECT WEIGHT.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE , AND THE ONLY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE SOUND I HEARD WAS IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND ONE OR TWO OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THERE ARE JUST ONE OR TWO RANDOM TINY DUST POPS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHOUGH.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOUR SELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
