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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS. 

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD HOW IT WAS INTENDED. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND POPS, JUST A PURE CLEAN SOUND.

NOT ONE JOT OF STATIC OR VINYL NOISE, AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE VINYL PERFORMAS TO THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE

PERHAPS A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS HEARD THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT!!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
