THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE THE RED AND TAN EMI LABELS OF THE EARLY 1970'S, AND THE ONLY AREA OF THIS SUPEB COLLECTIBLE THAT IS LESS THAN PERFECT. THERE HAS BEEN SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO BOTH SIDES OF THE LABEL RESULTING IN A LITTLE COLOUR LOSS. BIT OF A SHAME BUT BEARING IN MIND HOW RARE THIS SINGLE IS I DOUBT THAT IT WILL DETER THE SERIOUS BIDDERS OUT THERE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE IT HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYLS
THE DISC HAS RETAINED ITS LUSTRE AND LOOKS SHARP AND SHINY. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR SCRATCHES AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT SOME LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES
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 BOTH SIDES OF THIS SINGLE
THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS PURE "FIRST PRESS" AND DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS EVER!!
AS THE OPENING TRACK STARTS TO PLAY IT IS CLEAR THAT THE RECORD IS PLAYING WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED IF IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS WORN OR FAR TOO HEAVY. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THE SOUND IS PERFECTLY CLEAN. . THIS SUPERB PERFORMANCE CONTINUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES,
THE TITLE TRACK PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT STANDARD WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION OR BACKGROUND, WHILST THE B SIDE HAS SOME VERY MILD BACKGROUND BEHIND THE MUSIC AND IS CLOSER TO EXCELLENT TO EXCELLENT PLUS
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT FACTORY ISSUE EMI SLEEVE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
THE RECORD COMES HOUSED IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE FOR ULTIMATE PROTECTION
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO GO FOR IT
