THE LABELS
THE OLIVE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 2-3 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE RECORD HAS STILL RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN SEE ONE OR TWO VERY FINE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND A SMALL HANDLING MARK ON TRACK 4 SIDE TWO (ALL SURFACE ONLY)
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. 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
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
THERE IS THE ODD LITTLE BIT OF VERY VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND IN THE QUIETEST OF MOMENTS LIKE BETWEEN A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS IN THE LINKING GROOVES, WHICH AMOUNT TO NOTHING MORE THAN A TINY BIT OF STATIC LIKE SOUND .I ALSO HEARD A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE STATIC TICS DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE VINYL EASILY PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT GRADE
