THE RECORD LABELS
THE BLACK AND SILVER FIRST PRESS LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR IS VIBRANT, AND HAS NO STAINS OR MARKS ANYWHERE.
THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE (SILVER) IS ALSO UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
FINALLY THERE ARE A SMALL CLUSTER OF SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HAD SOME TEN OR SO PLAYS , AND BEEN HANDLED CAREFULLY
THE VINYL
HEAVY WEIGHT GLOSSY BLACK VINYL.
WHEN OFFERED UP TO A SPOTLIGHT THERE ARE ONLY A FEW FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT HANDLING LINES AND ONE OR TWO MINUSCULE LITTLE MARKS
PLAYING THE RECORD
I HAVE RECORDED THE WHOLE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS TO ALLOW POTENTIAL BIDDERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID
.
THE FIRST THING THAT IS CLEAR IS THAT THE SOUND IS DISTORTION FREE. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THE PLAY THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD WAS DONE WITH A GOOD QUALITY STYLUS AND NOT ONE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE GROOVE SUCH AS A WORN, CHIPPED STYLUS, OR INDEED ONE THAT WAS TRACKING TOO HEAVILY.
EACH TRACK PLAYS THROUGH WITH UTMOST CLARITY.
THE PERFORMANCE ALL THE WAY THROUGH SIDE ONE IS JUST OUTSTANDING
THERE IS NO HEAVY CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
SIDE TWO TRACK ONE HAS A FEW LITTLE TICS DURING THE PLAY, MOST OF WHICH ARE BARELY AUDIBLE, THERE ARE ALSO A COUPLE LATER ON AS THE SIDE PROGRESSES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE ON SIDE ONE AND EX+ FOR SIDE TWO
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
