THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE ALL MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE MARK ON ANY OF THEM, AND THE DARK BLUE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PRISTINE.
NO MORE THAN TWO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW OF THE NORMAL ULTRA FINE 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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS HARDLY ANY BACKGROUND HEARD JUST OCCASIONALY IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND IN THE RUN OUT GROOVE
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN TWO DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE CBS PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND NO RIPS TO THE DIE CUT HOLE
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS THE SAME AS THE FRONT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
