Description
FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com
I have acquired a Large Paul McCartney collection, where the original owner had two copies of each title. Looking at the one set in particular it would appear that he had one for playing and one for storing.
They were all housed in a proper record case so no chance to get damaged
I am going to release these one per day in the original release order, so starting on Sunday 28th April with the Debut solo album
If you want the best copy that money can buy then look no further

PLAYING THE RECORD
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP IS THE THAT STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ANDTHE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
