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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER, JUST SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUNDIN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD A COUPLE OF TINY TICS JUST AS SIDE ONE STARTED AND ONLY 3-4 MORE DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT + FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH ON SIDE ONE AND NEAR MINT FOR SIDE TWO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
