THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED. IN DAY LIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UPTO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES, PLUS A LIGHT BAND OF EMBEDDED DULL SPECKLES ON THE OUTER RIM OF ONE SIDE (ALL NON SOUNDING)
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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
A TRUE FIRST PRESS PERFORMANCE WITH A STEREO REPRODUCTION THAT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. SILENT RUN IN'S AND LINKING GROOVES LEADING TO PERFECT SOUND PLAYED WITHOUT DISTORTION THUS NO GROOVE WEAR
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS TRULY SUPERB WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR, AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
THERE IS JUST THE VERY ODD SECOND OF VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND LINKING GROOVES.
I HEARD NO MORE THAN THREE TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC'S PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
