Queen : Headlong 12" Vinyl Single

The title track 'Headlong' has only minimal static on the intro and then plays with great power and depth thereafter.  The audio is so rich and deep and there is nothing that intrudes on the quality of the sound.  There are a handful of very light static ticks only but no clicks or pops and the clarity overall is very impressive.  'All Gods People' is of a very similar standard.  There is no real intrusion just a small number of light static ticks.  You really have to listen out for them as they are very quiet!  The long fade out is very clean with only some minor static.  'Mad The Swine' plays very clearly from the outset with only a small number of very light ticks on the intro.  From then on it plays with great clarity and only one very quiet click.  The vast majority is 'as new' and there is very little 'background'.

The vinyl still has a lovely glossy sheen and there are no marks or scratches.  There are only a few very faint sleeve removal hairlines that have no affect on the audio.  There is just one tiny spindle trace on S1 and just a little more on S2.

The cover is in excellent condition with only a little shelf wear.  The edges have hardly any rubbing and only the bottom two corners have a little creasing.  The front and back cover are very clean with no marking and all you can see is some very minor creasing and a little ringwear.

Please wait for the invoice before making payment thank you.
