THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THEY ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. AND ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE ZERO!! SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 39 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN HANDLED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM , AND FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. IT IS CLEAR JUST BY LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS BARELY SEEN A TURNTABLE IN ITS 43 YEARS.WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND ON SIDE ONE SOME TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES.
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 RECORDED THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I AM CONVINCED 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
THIS SUPERB VINYL PLAYS FAULTLESSLY. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THE SOUND IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAR AND NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT AND ONLY A COUPLE OF INSTANCES OF SOME BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS,
I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SUPERB VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS
