THE LABELS
THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN, THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE HARVEST LOGO IS TOTALLY IMMACULATE . THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SPIDER LINES VISIBLE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, AND ONE OR TWO TINY SURFACE HANDLING LINES.
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORDS BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NOT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. THE STEREO SOUND IS LOUD AND CLEAR AND DEFINITELY FIRST PRESS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, JUST SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND WHICH IS ONLY AUDIBLE IN THE SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS/POPS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO
BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
