THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE  RED AND WHITE  LABELS ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. 

 THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THERE IS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF FOXING VISIBLE

THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT  LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MINT. 

EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF FINE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES

A GLEAMING MARK FREE  RECORD IN SUBLIME CONDITION

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTABLE 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 DOUBLE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND SHOULD BECAUSE THE DISC CLEARLY HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT TO THE STEREO REPRODUCTION, SO NO GROOVE WEAR

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE 

A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION 

THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES ON THIS ALBUM AND IT IS AN ABSOLUTE JOY TO LISTEN TO WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER

NO AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN  THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

JUST TWO TINY DUST POPS DURING THE PLAY

THE LP JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED  AND HAS A REMARKABLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND  I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO MINT MINUS 

BUT DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE TOP EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING ACCROSS THE SURFACE ON THE FRONT SURFACE. THERE IS A SMALL SCUFF ON THE REAR EDGE IN THE MIDDLE

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE PRISTINE, WITH ONE PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER TIP END

THE SPINE IS FULLY LAMINATED  WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE . THE TOP AND BOTTOM  ENDS ARE TOTALLY PERFECT AND UNBLEMISHED
