VINYL PLAY GRADE:
EX+
Side 1
A few very light crackles at start but otherwise really quiet.
One light click in the final bars of PLEDGING MY TIME.
I'm used to it in mono but it really does sound great. So full, rich and warm.
Side 2
Again, some very light static crackles between the songs but no pops, clicks, skips or jumps. Superb.
Side 3
Sounds fantastic. Just some light static at the start.
Two light clicks on MOST LIKELY...
Very clean and dynamic.
I can't get over how great it sounds - wonderful.
Side 4
Absolutely stunning. Just beautiful. I think I prefer this song in stereo after hearing this!
VERDICT
(It needs a clean but, sadly, I no longer have the machine to do it.)
It plays exceptionally well on all sides. There is NO lessening of sound quality at all.
If it had no light crackles, I would grade it as NEAR MINT.
A fantastic copy!
PLEASE READ THIS BIT:
The photos are a large part of the description and I always try to show any defects. Please have a good look at them.
All records are packed with packaging designed especially for shipping vinyl.
All records will normally be dispatched on the next working day after payment confirmation.
I play test MOST records on a simple REGA RP1 with an old valve amp, using headphones to focus on the sound and any specific flaws.
Any pops or loud crackles will be mentioned, but static often causes this and can be dealt with cheaply.
Some records are noisier than others - due to the original source, for example. If an album is particularly noisy, I aim to point it out.
All records WILL have very fine, light surface scratches from their inner sleeves. They do not affect play and are not considered faults.
I'm an honest bloke and have a decent reputation, and do my best to sort out any mistakes or problems quickly and fairly.
I'm NOT A SHOP
OR PROFESSIONAL DEALER, but a record and music lover who buys, sells and swaps from time to time.
Thanks for looking and enjoy your day.
P&P OUTSIDE OF THE UK
I use Ebay's GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAMME, as I just don't have time to negotiate the myriad overseas shipping costs.
Please don't contact me with shipping cost queries as they are fixed by Ebay.
If payment isn't received in 4 days of you winning, the UNPAID ITEM process begins unless you get in touch and let me know why.
*************************
I use Record Collectors Grading System
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Un-played should be Mint.
NEAR MINT (NM) They look like new, having only been played once or twice.
Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
