THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE SUPERB CBS ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOURS AT ALL, NO MARKS EITHER. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CAN SEE JUST TWO MINISCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN THE CONDITION THAT IT IS
THE VINYL
THE DISC IS IN MINT UNMARKED CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE IT HAS JUST BEEN PRESSED. EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES. THIS ALBUM LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED
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 DECIDED WITH ALL LISTINGS TO RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS A RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.
THIS RARE DEBUT LP PLAYS TO PERFECTION BOTH SIDES. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A CRISP CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS UNBLEMISHED.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION WHATSOEVER,
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE
NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
A TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE RUN IN DEAD WAX, AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE LITTLE DUST TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS VINYL COULD EVER BE BETTERED.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT, AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
