THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE  PLUM AMD BROWN LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION/ PRISTINE BASE COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO AN UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALSO FREE FROM ANY RUBBING. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE  SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN A PERFECT AND SHINY CONDITION AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT STILL LOOKS NEAR PERFECT. NO LINES OTHER THAN JUST A FEW  WISPY HAIRLINES

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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL OF THE VINYL THAT I LIST. I AM CERTAIN BIDDERS OUT THERE WILL APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON RATHER THAN LEAVE IT TO POT LUCK.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER 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 LP SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER,SHOWING THAT WHAT PLAY THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED HAS BEEN COMPLETED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS BOTH UNWORN, AND TRACKING AT THE CORRECT WEIGHT.

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE , AND NO MORE THAN SOME OCCASIONAL VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC  LIKE STUFF  IN THE LINKING GROOVES

THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOUR SELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
