THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE EPIC LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. FULLY RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND BLUE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST TWO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ALL THAT IS VISIBLE ARE SOME DULL SPOTS EMBEDDED INTO THE VINYL ON SIDE TWO AND A HANDFUL OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD BARELY AUDIBLE SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC HEARD IN THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
