THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN NICE CONDITION . THERE IS A VERY LIGHT CIRCLE OF WEAR ON SIDE A ON THE HIGH POINT WHERE IS HAS RUBBED AGAINST ANOTHER RECORD. THE TYPEFACE IS VERY SLIGHTLY FADES WHERE IT TOUCHES THE CIRCLE. SIDE TWO HOWEVER IS PERFECT.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS VIRTUALLY FLAWLESS, UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW OF THE NORMAL ULTRA FINE WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF HANDLING MARKS AND 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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND HEARD RANDOMLY THROUGHOUT THE PLAY. LESS ON SIDE TWO AS IT HAS ONLY HAS A FEW PLAYS
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN TWO DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE EXCELLENT PLUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE PYE PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND NO RIPS TO THE DIE CUT HOLE. ONE TINY NICK TO THE TOP EDGE
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT
THE RED BIRO MARKS YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLEEVE ARE MARKS MADE BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER EACH TIME HE PLAYED THE RECORD. THUS GIVING A FACTUAL HISTORICAL ACCOUNT OF HOW MANY PLAYS THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
