THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE GREY LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL PRESS DISC THAT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT.HOWEVER UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NUMEROUS TINY LITTLE WISPY HAIRLINES. THESE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT ON PLAYBACK WHATSOEVER, AND IN MY OPINION ARE A RESULT OF SLIDING IN AND OUT OF THE TEXTURED INNER SLEEVE. THERE IS ONE LIGHT EMBEDDED DULL STREAK. AGAIN TOTALLY NON SOUNDING AS YOU WILL HEAR IF YOU CHOOSE TO LISTEN TO THE LP BEFORE BIDDING.
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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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
EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED. DISTORTION FREE AS WELL MEANING THAT THE CAREFUL PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A HIFI THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THE VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS.
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY STATIC AT ANY POINT, NOT EVEN IN THE LINKING GROOVES.
I HEARD TWO MINUSCULE DUST POPS ABOUT TEN SECONDS INTO TRACK ONE SIDE TWO AND THATS ALL THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
A FLAWLESS AUDIO PERFORMANCE THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE 100% MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
