THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE LIGHT BLUE LABELS ARE JUST MINT!! DEEP RICH UNRUBBED COLOURS THAT HAVE NO BLEMISHES WHATSOEVER. THE BLACK TEXT IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE TWO SPIDER LINES VISIBLE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A FLAWLESS DISC 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 DISC 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 12" 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 DISC PLAYS AT 45 RPM ON BOTH SIDES

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 SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE RUN IN AND LINKING GROOVES WHICH IS VERY VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
