THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE TEST PRESS LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS ZERO SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION , I COULD ONLY SEE TWO TINY HANDLING LINES (TOTALLY NON SOUNDING
NO WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES AT ALL
A STUNNING HEAVY VINYL
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 DOUBLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND ALSO NO STATIC ANYWHERE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE CLARITY OF SOUND REALLY IS OUTSTANGING.
THERE ARE A FEW TINY LITTLE RANDOM DUST TICS / POPS DURING THE PLAY
AND THE ODD SPECK OF STATIC IN A LINKING GROOVE OR TWO
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO NEAR MINT
BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM SHOREPAK
THE FRONT SURFACE IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN. GLEAMING GLOSSY LAMINATE THAT IS PERFECT APART FROM A SMALL SLIVER OF LIFT BY THE SPINE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH JUST A SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIPS
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE FOUR PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY LAMINAT5ED AND JUST SHOWS A THIN BIT OF RUB AT THE RIGHT CORNER
THE BOTTOM EDGES IS MINT
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. THE LAMINATE HAS A COUPLE OF CRACK LINES FROM THE PRESSURE LINES ON THE FRONT. THERE IS A LITTLE RUB AT THE BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT. AGAIN NICE DEEP COLOURS. AGAIN GLEAMING LAMINATE WITH JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OD RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED AND THERE ARE SOME PRESSURE LINES ON THE EDGES
