THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN. THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES NEAR THE HOLE

THE VINYL

GLOSSY OUTSTANDING CONDITION HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE.

IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL 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, SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS. .

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT STATIC  HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  NEAR MINT

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO IT YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
