THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE SILVER BLACK FONTANA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR IS JUST IMMACULATE. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR WEAR OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS ALSO TOTALLY UNWORN. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGO IS IN ADDITION PRISTINE AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE BLACK SURFACE IS THE TEXTURED ORIGINAL ISSUE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO IT, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND MARK FREE, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE 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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE OUTSTANDING MONO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, SHOWING THAT WHAT PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS, AND ONE THAT WAS UNWORN OR UNDAMAGED
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
THERE IS LIGHT STATIC HEARD DURING THE A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES, BUT NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM TINY DUST POPS/TICS HERE AND THERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWNS STANDARDS
