- THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT IS STILL FLAWLESS
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, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS. HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH JUST THE ODD SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC HERE AND THERE
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE IN THE RUN IN, AND NOT ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
