THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SILVER BLACK FONTANA LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE BLACK SURFACE IS THE TEXTURED ORIGINAL ISSUE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS 6-7 SPIDER LINES AROUND IT, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR AND LOOKS REALLY CLEAN IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE A FEW VERY FINE AND NON THREATENING HANDLING LINES WHEN ANGLED INTO LIGHT, AND WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, A FEW MORE, AND THE USUAL 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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE 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 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 OUTSTANDING MONO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, SHOWING THAT WHAT PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WAS UNWORN OR UNDAMAGED
THERE IS LIGHT BACKGROUND HEARD DURING THE QUIETEST SPOTS, AND A LITTLE MORE RIGHT AT THE START OF EACH SIDE. THERE IS NO HEAVY CRACKLE AT ANY POINT
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TICS HERE AND THERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
