THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED, THE BLACKTYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
I CAN'T SEE ANY MORE THAN TWO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER, AND NOT EVEN ANY MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I AM CERTAIN THAT IS DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE STATIC TICS
I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
