THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE OCHRE COLOURED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY MINT DISC . IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS SPARKLING VINYL,IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS  AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, OTHER THAN A FEW TINY NON SOUNDING SOUNDING HAIRLINES ON TRACK ONE SIDE TWO

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 SET FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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

INCREDIBLE!!! THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE REPRODUCTION. SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT PERFORM TO THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE

NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SMALL SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE LIGHT STATIC EITHER

AND JUST ONE DUST POP THROUGH EITHER SIDE

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
