THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAVE USED A MAGNIFYING GLASS AND I CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT ONE TINY SPIDER LINE ON ONE SIDE OF THE LABEL. THERE ARE STILL RESIDUAL SHARDS OF FACTORY PRESS VINYL STUCK INSIDE  THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS VERY GLOSSY AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. IN DAYLIGHT THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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

THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND SECONDLY THE OUTSTANDING LOUD AND POWERFUL STEREO SOUND IS A CRISP AND CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO  DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH WHATSOEVER

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!! FOR IT'S PLAYTHROUGH

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

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE  IS FLAT AND VERY CLEAN. NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS, AND ONLY THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER SHOWS A LITTLE WRINKLE. THE CORRECT DATE IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER 0570 (MAY 1970)
