THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. UN-RUBBED COLOURS AND TYPEFACE. I CAN BARELY MAKE OUT TWO MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS FIRST PRESS VINYL, HAS A DEEP RICH SHEEN, AND CLEARLY HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, WHILST UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, ANDON TRACK ONE SIDE TWO THERE IS A SMALL SCRATCH

WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE  INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON

THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR 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 LP SOUNDS.

PLAYING THE VINYL YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT, THE CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREOPHONIC REPRODUCTION THAT IS PURE FIRST PRESS.

THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS VINYL HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN PLAYED ON A HI-FI SYSTEM THAT HAD CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND BALANCED, AND UNWORN STYLUS.

ALSO PLAYING THIS VINYL YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD POPS OR CLICKS, AND FOR THAT MATTER NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER.

WHEN A LOUD ALBUM IS BEING PLAYED IT CAN OF COURSE MASK STATIC AND OTHER NOISE,SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE LINKING GROOVES WHICH WILL INDICATE JUST HOW GOOD THE VINYL PERFORMS. I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, WITH JUST A SPECK OF STATIC IN THE RUN IN GROOVE RIGHT ON THE OUTER LIP AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM AY ALBUM,. AS SIDE B STARTS THERE ARE FEW ROTATIONAL AND LITTLE TINY TICS FOR A FEW TURNS DUE TO THE SMALL SCRATCH MENTIONED ABOVE

AND ON THAT BASIS I AM DELIGHTED TO GRADE THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION OF THIS VINYL MINT MINUS /EX+

 PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
