THIS VINYL HAS COME DIRECT FROM THE MUSIC PUBLISHERS WHERE IT HAS SAT IN A BOX SINCE 1983. IT IS IN THE MOST MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PASTEL BLUE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS THAT THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES AND IN DAYLIGHT IN IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM ONE MICROSCOPIC HANDLING LINE, AND A COUPLE OF THE WISPIEST 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 PLAYED THE LP FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, AND AS YOU KNOW UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT, AND I AM SURE THAT BIDDERS WOULD RATHER ENSURE THAT THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THAN TAKE A RISK ON AN UNPLAYED VINYL.
MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION ANYWHERE
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 4-5 OF THE TINIEST BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS IN A FEW PLACES,AND TWO LITTLE TICS IN THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE ONE AND THE VERY ODD SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, AND LIKE ANY PINK FLOYS ALBUM THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SILENT PASSAGES. SO THE VERY MINIMAL AMOUNT OF EXTREEMLY LIGHT STUFF IS UNAVOIDABLE
THIS UNPLAYED VINYL GRADES NEAR MINT WITH EASE
AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB COPY OF THIS CLASSIC FLOYD ALBUM!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS HOWEVER
