THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES THAT ARE OTHERWISE INVISIBLE
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 WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
WITH BJH'S MUSIC YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT ANY BACKGROUND WILL BE HEARD THROUGH THE MANY MANY QUIET PASSAGES.
THERE IS NONE WHATSOEVER. THE LP PLAYS TO PERFECTION THOUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS,
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A COUPLE OF KIGHTLY AUDIBLE DUST POPS, PERHAPS THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC BUT THATS ALL AND A COUPLE OF STATIC TICS
A SENSATIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL LOOKING AND SOUNDING FIRST PRESS VINYL
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
