THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DEEP RED AND SILVER UNBOXED STEREO LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE RED BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL STILL RETAINS THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS IN FLAWLESS .UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME LIGHT HANDLING LINES, AND FEW DULLER PATCHES TO THE VINYL
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I AM CERTAIN THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE FOR MY CUSTOMERS
THE INCREDIBLE MONO SOUND COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAR ON ALL TRACKS, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF GROOVEWEAR, MEANING THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO HEAVY CRACKLES AND CLICKS WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER.
THERE IS SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND WHICH CAN BE HEARD ONLY IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND DURING SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES OF MUSIC
THERE ARE A FEW TINY DUST POPS / TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
A REALLY SOLID COPY OF THIS ALBUM THAT PLAYS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL AS YOU WILL HEAR AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS EXCELLENT ++++
BUT PLEASE JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
