THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THE YELLOW LOGO IS IN THE SAME EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THERE ARE JUST 5-6 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS JUST HAD MINIMALFROM NEW.

THE VINYL

REALLY REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN STUNNING CONDITION. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT SOME TINY AND WISPY HAIRLINES

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 HAVE RECENTLY DECIDED THAT ALL OF MY LISTINGS WILL BE DONE THIS WAY AS IT IS MY BELIEF THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT IT IS THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND EVEN THOUGH THIS TAKES ME FAR LONGER, I CONSIDER IT THE WAY FORWARD FOR EBAY VINYL SALES. HOPE YOU AGREE

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN STEREO REPRODUCTION.

JUST PURE FIRST PRESS CRISP CLEAR SOUND. THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLING, JUST SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE IN SOME RANDOM SPOTS AND SOME ODD LITTLE TICS AND POPS HERE AND THERE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP  EXCELLENT PLUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN THOUGH AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
