THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE  LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE TEXTURED ORANGE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE. THE 1ST ISSUE LABEL IS IDENTIFIED BY THE FACT THAT IT IS TEXTURED AND NOT SMOOTH, AND BY THE NUMBER 33 AT 7 O'CLOCK INSTEAD OF 33 1/3RD. 

THE ORANGE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE  SPINDLE HOLE, A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES REVEALS A CLUSTER OF FINE SPIDER LINES CLOSE BY INDICATING A LIGHTLY PLAYED DISC

THE VINYL

THE LP SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. WHEN I PLACED THIS UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I COULD SEE NUMEROUS TINY LITTLE WISPY SURFACE LINES SO PRESUMED THE RECORD WOULD NOT PLAY AS WELL AS IT DOES. 

IN DAYLIGHT THE LP LOOKS FLAWLESS OF COURSE. HOWEVER IT IS CLEAR FROM THE PLAYTHROUGH THAT THESE LITTLE LINES ARE SUPERFICIAL AS YOU WILL HEAR IF YOU YOU PLAY THE AUDIO TRACK AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 DISC PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY , AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS RECORD SOUNDS.

THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THE STERO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. I CANNOT BE CRITICAL OF THIS REPRODUCTION  IN ANY WAY AT ALL.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE PLAYTHROUGH, MEANING THAT WHAT  PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLI.

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

THERE IS SOME OCCASIONAL LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE  BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES,AND  NO MORE THAN A FEW LITTLE STATIC TICS WHATSOEVER

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH, AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS
