THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR HAS REMAINED UNRUBBED, AND THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS ANYWHERE. THE 1ST ISSUE LABEL IS IDENTIFIED BY THE FACT THAT IT IS HAS TWO CBS LOGO'S, ONE EITHER SIDE OF THE LABEL
THE RED COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE. THERE ARE ONLY 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE LP SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SURFACE HANDLING 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 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 STEREO 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 LITTLE 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 STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES,AND ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH, AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS SUPERB!!

THE SHRINK DOES HAVE A SPLIT , BUT STILL PROTECTS THE SURFACE VERY WELL

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE, AND THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE, WITH PRISTINE TIP ENDS
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
