  THE

   LABELS

THE MATT DEEP ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UN-RUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I AM ABLE TO SEE ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A  COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. A MAGNIFICENT ALBUM

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, 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 THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT, SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY VINYL NOISE OR STATIC APART FROM JUST A TINY SECOND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES

THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH I HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE DUST POPS ON SIDE ONE AND PERHAPS 6 OR 7 ON SIDE TWO

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS  / NEAR MINT CONDITION

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS, YOU DON'T JUST HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT
