Description


    • FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING

    THE SWEET - DESOLATION BOULEVARD

    Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com

    STUNNING 1975 US ORIGINAL COPY

    NEAR MINT AUDIO

    THE SLEEVE IS NEAR MINT AND STILL IN THE SHRINKWRAP



    THE RECORD


    THE ORANGE LABELS ARE  PRISTINE. 

    THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF MARKS OR STAINS ETC. 

    THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

    THERE IS JUST ONE VISIBLE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE. 

    THE VINYL

    WHEN LOOKED AT IN DAYLIGHT THIS RECORD LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS

    UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN SEE ONE SMALL HANDLING LINE ON TRACK THREE , SIDE ONE (NON SOUNDING) AND THREE OTHERS OVER THE TWO SIDES WHICH AGAIN ARE WISPY AND NON SOUNDING


    THE TEST PLAY

    THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR

    SILENT LINKING GROOVES

    NO CRACKLE ANYWHERE

    STUNNING THROUGH THE MANY NEAR SILENT PASSAGES

    ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAYS WERE A FEW RANDOM BARELY AUDIBLE SPECKS OF STATIC OR LOW LEVEL  BACKGROUND IN SOME SILENT PASSAGES, BUT THIS IS VERY VERY MINOR

    ON SIDE ONE I HEARD TWO TICS. ONE IN THE LINKING GROOVE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND TRACK AND ONE TINY ONE IN THE 4TH TRACK. ON SIDE TWO I ONLY HEARD ONE TINY TIC IN TRACK TWO AND TWO MORE IN THE FINAL TRACK

    I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS NEAR MINT


    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
