THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE ALL MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE MARK ON ANY OF THEM, AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PRISTINE.
NO MORE THAN TWO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW OF THE NORMAL ULTRA FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF VERY FINE HANDLING LINES ON THE B SIDE
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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS HARDLY ANY BACKGROUND HEARD JUST OCCASIONALY IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE MINT MINUS!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE LIBERTY PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND NO RIPS TO THE DIE CUT HOLE
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE ADVERTISES EMI RECORD TOKENS AND THE EMITEX CLEANING MATERIAL AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
