THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED LOGO AND BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE UN-RUBBED ND CLEARLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE.A SPOTLESS VINYL THAT LOOKS FAULTLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ONE NON SOUNDING WISPY HANDLING LINE ON SIDE TWO, AND ONLY A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES OTHER THAN THIS
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 EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON. I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO MY CUSTOMERS
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NOT ONE BIT OF DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE ALBUM WAS PLAYED WITH AN UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PERFECT
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY EMBEDDED NOISE, AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES JUST THE ODD TINY SPECK OF STATIC IN A FEW LINKING GROOVBES
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
FOR ME THIS GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS FOR THE PLAYGRADE
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS BY TAKING A GOOD LISTEN
