THE RECORD

 

THE LABELS

THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS  ARE IN MINT CONDITION. 

THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS JUST 2-3 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 , I COULD ONLY  SEE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES




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.

NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES

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

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

A CLEAR , AND LOUD STEREO REPRODUCTION 

THE CLARITY OF SOUND REALLY IS OUTSTANGING. 

ALL I HEARD WAS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN THE RUN IN TO SIDE A, AND A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES WITH A LITTLE IN

NO POPS OR CLICKS

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SOUGHT AFTER ALBUM

  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

HEAVILY TEXTURED LINEN EFFECT GATEFOLD SLEEVE BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE
