THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE PASTEL GREEN HARVEST  LABELS ARE AS MINT AS YOU WOULD WANT IT. THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORDS HAVE BARELY BEEN ON A TURNTABLE SINCE 1970

THE VINYL

SUPERB FIRST PRESS DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS MARKS OR HANDLING SIGNS IN NORMAL LIGHT AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE AND NEAR INVISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES.

 

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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH EVER LP THAT I LIST, 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.

THIS LIKE ANY ORCHESTRAL PIECE IS FULL OF SILENT OR NEAR SILENT PASSAGES, AND IS MOST PRONE TO ANY BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER. LOUD ROCK CAN SOMETIMES MASK LIGHT BACKGROUND BUT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC CANNOT

THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THIS ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY

THE CLARITY OF THE PERFORMANCE IS JUST SUPERB AND THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER

THERE IS THE VERY ODD SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF SPOTS, MAINLY JUST AT THE START OF EACH SIZE. IT'S VERY VERY LOW LEVEL AND VIRTUALLY INAUDIBLE, I THINK THIS PERFORMACE IS AS GOOD AS IT CAN POSSIBLY GET ON THIS VINYL. A SUPERB REPRODUCTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES

NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS ANYWHERE

THIS IS TRULY A MAGNIFICENT AUDIO EXPERIENCE

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE VINYL MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
