THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE EPIC ARE JUST PRISTINE  DEEP RICH UNRUBBED COLOURS THAT HAVE NO BLEMISHES WHATSOEVER. THE GREEN TEXT IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE 4-5 SPIDER LINES VISIBLE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I SEE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND SUPERFICIAL SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES

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.

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 IN THE RUN IN GROOVES,A DNA  IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES 

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-02 TINY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  NEAR MINT !!!

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