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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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 QUALITY OF THE RECORDING IS INCREDIBLE, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY. THE PRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
I HONESTLY DON'T THINK I HEARD ANYMORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS EITHER
A VERY CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUNDING 1ST PRESS OF THIS OUTSTANDING ALBUM
THE PERFORMANCE I AM SURE YOU WILL AGREE ONCE YOU HAVE HEARD THE RECORDINGS IS MAGNIFICENT,
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
