The Vinyl

Very near pristine! There isn't much to say about this other than this looks and sounds unplayed (not a blemish can be seen at all) certainly (no) needle or audio scratches at all!!!! any marks that could possiblt be seen would be from the vinyl been removed from its sleeve! NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE FROM THIS VINYL! LOOKS AND SOUNDS UNPLAYED!!!!!! AUDIO IS AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!!! VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED IN 38 YEARS!!!!!    PLEASE LOOK AT MY COMPLETED LISTINGS OF RECORDS THAT I HAVE SOLD OF THIS CALABER AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I NORMALLY GET IT RIGHT!!!!!!!

Please note! I always add this disclaimer! Please allow for the odd static crackle\tick (not) constistant throughout the audio! most of this that might possibly be heard would be contributed to dirt or dust that has built up over the years due to the fact that this album has been stored for the best part of 25 years and from my personal experiance constant cleaning before each play would subsequently minimise this problem!!!!!!!
