THE RECORD
THE LABELS
SUPERB ORANGE STEREO LABELS. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNRUBBED, UNFADED, UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK LOGO IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, AND FINALLY THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST TWO MINUSCULE SPIDERS LINE WHICH CAN REALLY ONLY BE SEEN UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT.
THE VINYL
INCREDIBLE TO FIND THIS 44 YEAR OLD ALBUM IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A NEAR NEW CONDITION. THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE LP AT ALL , EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF 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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE 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 FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE STEREO SOUND IS VERY LOUD AND POWERFUL AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HAS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION. MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 OF THE TINIEST LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM GOING TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!
DON'T ACCEPT MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO IT AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND
