THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE RED AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY  SPIDER LINES ON EACH SIDE OF THE  SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE OF THE VINYL HAS BEEN RETAINED WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS SPOTLESS. NO MARKS OR HANDLING LINES, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE TINY NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINE ON THE OUTER RIM OF SIDE ONE

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 AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS. THIS IS BECAUSE I BELIEVE BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, AND IT'S A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH. CLEARLY THE ONE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WHICH HAS A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND WEIGHTED STYLUS WHICH WAS ALSO IN UNWORN CONDITION

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE DECCA/DERAM FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAR WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING OR LOUD CLICKS,

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, AND A SPECK IN THE RUN IN TO SIDE ONE

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP WHATSOEVER

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS !!!!

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