THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GOLD LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE ONLY 3-4 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES TO BE SEEN. AND A FEW ULTRA FINE ANGEL HAIR 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 ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE 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 SILENT BITS ARE NEAR SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE VERY ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A FEW OF THE MORE SILENT SPOTS, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
