THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 2-3 SPIDER LINES ROUND THE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE 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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I 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

THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

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

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL EITHER

THE VINYL PLAYS JUST SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH JUST THE ODD SECOND OF STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES.

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC'S PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!  IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT, AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE ALL SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE YELLOW COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST THE RIGHT TIP END HAVING A PIN PRICK OF WHITE VISIBLE. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR ALONG IT

THE  SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED THE WHITE COLOUR IS PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO STILL RAZOR SHARP , SHOWING WHY THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED

THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS STILL FULLY COLOURED WITH ONLY A SMALL SCUFF NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
