THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE KHAKI LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT!! CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLES.
THE LOGO AND BLACK TYPEFACE WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY IS IN PERFECT CONDITION , WITH EACH LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE IS BARELY ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS CLEAN AND STILL VERY GLOSSY. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE
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 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
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE THIS SHOWS THAT THE LP WAS PLAYED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WASN'T DAMAGED EITHER.
THIS ALBUM IS VIRTUALLY SILENT ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND ANY UNWANTED NOISE WOULD BE UNBEARABLE. THERE IS JUST A TINY BIT OF EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE FIRST TRACK, SO TYPICAL OF A & M VINYL FROM THIS ERA, BUT IN REALITY COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE ALBUM IT IS INCREDIBLY MINOR
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS
NO OTHER EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO SOUND IS IMMENSE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
I HEARD A LITTLE BIT OF STATIC ON OCCASION AND TWO TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB ALBUM AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MINT MINUS FOR THE REPRODUCTION.
