THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE OFF WHITE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. .

THE RED LOGO AND BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 23 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE EITHER . A TRULY PERFECT DISC

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, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN MINT AND SO I TOOK THE DECISION TO CAREFULLY TEST PLAY THIS VINYL. THIS PLAY WILL NOT BE DETECTED

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.

THE SILENT BITS ARE  SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NOT ON JOT OF VINYL NOISE OR STATIC, AND I HEARD ZERO DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST TWO MINUSCULE STATIC TICS

YOU WILL NEVER GET A BETTER COPY OF THIS EVER!!

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!! IT IS THAT GOOD

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