Description
I want to avoid any misunderstanding about grading, so I'm not providing any grading information because I can find no reliable online benchmark recordings with which to compare my own vinyl
The records I’m selling are mainly Blues and Soul which I’ve enjoyed playing and which were loud, even distorted, when first issued. Noise that would be distracting on a Classical or Modern Jazz LP does not have the same impact on these kinds of 45s
So I’ve played all my records and described what I hear. They will all have at least a small amount of surface crackling, the question is – how much, and does it overpower the music, or is there more noise there than I would like?
There are photos of both sides of the record
The original sleeve was white so I am sending the item in a brand new 90gsm white generic sleeve
The item will be dispatched in bubble wrap in brown cruciform cardboard The Albert King 45s are unusual because the mixes are distorted anyway and sound very different from the anaemic sounding LPs or CDs I’ve heard (and I’ve owned 45/33/CD of all of these tracks)
For this record: Side 1 : Some surface noise but quite acceptable and does not overpower the music Side 2 : Quite a bit more crackly surface noise, but while it does not overpower the music, it is at the lower end of what I find acceptable and is more than I would like
I’m no vinyl expert so I’m not describing the look of the media. The label and the sleeve can be seen in the photos. There are going to be scuffs and scratches
I’ve done online research and feel that this is a fair price
I aim to send within 3 working days (excluding Sundays and Bank Holidays). So for example an item bought over the weekend would normally be sent no later than the end of the following Wednesday
Please message me if you have any questions. I want every buyer to be happy with their purchase
