- THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE PASTEL GREEN COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS 8-10 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN, HOWEVER UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW VERY FINE HANDLING LINES. , HOWEVER DESPITE THIS THE RECORD PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT GRADE, SO MOST ARE TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL.
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
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 RARE 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 EARLY 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 .
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL
INCREDIBLY AS PREVIOUSLY STATED, NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS THE ODD SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC HEARD ONLY IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS GREAT VINYL AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS/TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I BELIEVE THE PLAYTHROUGH GRADES EASILY NEAR MINT!!!
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
