THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL GREEN COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HERE LOOKS MAGNIFICENT ON BOTH SIDES AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS MINT.
ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION CAN I SPOT A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. AND A TINY MARK ON THE OUTER RIM OF 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 FROM START TO FINISH AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS EXTRA TIME AND EFFORT AS I BELIEVE IT IS ESSENTAIL TO BE ABLE HEAR WHAT YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON, PARTICULARLY FOR A RARE LP
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE.
ISLAND/CRYSALIS RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR EARLY LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS. HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
SO NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO CRACKLE OR CLICKS
A COUPLE OF INSIGNIFICANT SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
I HEARD A FEW TINY LITTLE TICS AT THE START OF SIDE TWO BUT THATS ALL
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS GREAT VINYL AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I WOULD GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS WITH EASE
