THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE JET BLACK RAINBOW LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND HASN'T WORN ANYWHERE, AND IT STRETCHES RIGHT INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.THERE ARE A COUPLE OF GLUE SPOTS VISIBLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN TOP CONDITION AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE ARE JUST 3-4 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW  ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME FEINT SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES AND A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE.

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. A DECISION I HAVE TAKEN AND ALL OF MY LISTINGS NOW FEATURE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT YOU MIGHT BE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON.

I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS DISCS SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER,AND NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION.

THE ODD SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE SILENT PASSAGES

 

THE ONLY OTHER THING I HEARD DURING MY TEST PLAY WAS TWO OR THREE RANDOM AND BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS

 

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SUPERB 38 YEAR OLD DISC NEAR MINT
