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 A LIGHT AMOUNT OF SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING SOME PLAY BUT NOTHING EXCESSIVE
THE VINYL
REALLY GLOSSY LP THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC. ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT FIRST PRESS IN STUNNING CONDITION. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES
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 WHOLE LP 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
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 MONO REPRODUCTION. JUST PURE FIRST PRESS MONO SOUND. THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES,
ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE LOUD MONO REPRODUCTION, MEANING THAT THE PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WERE ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY SOME VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
