THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. SIDE TWO HAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S NAME WRITTEN ONTO THE LABEL IN BALL PEN
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE 8-10 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD STILL HAS A SHINE TO IT, BUT HAS LIGHTLY DULLED. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT HANDLING LINES AND SOME WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION
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 ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
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 ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.WHICH IS CRYSTAL CLEAR ALL THE WAY THROUGH
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THE ODD SPECK OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND A LITTLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD 8-10 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH AND TWO TICS IN TRACK TWO SIDE TWO
A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN INCREDIBLE EXCELLENT PLUS PLAYTHROUGH CONDITION
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
