PLAYING THE RECORD
WE DO BELIEVE THAT A RARE LP SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE HEARD BY BIDDERS AND SO THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE INVESTED IN. THE BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE WILL ALLOW YOU TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD YOUR ARE THINKING OF BIDDING ON
THIS IS A SERVICE WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS
THIS LIKE ALL EARLY BEATLES ALBUMS CAN SOUND DREADFUL DUE TO THE HEAVY CARTRIDGES AND STYLUS THAT WERE USED ON THEM BACK IN THE DAY.
ALSO A WORD ABOUT STEERING CLEAR OF RECORDS THAT HAVE BEEN PLAYED ON A PLAYER USING AN AUTOCHANGER. THEY ARE DEAD EASY TO TELL BECAUSE THE SPINDLE HOLE IS WORN AND A LARGE WHITE CIRCLE OF WEAR APPEARS AROUND IT, WHERE THEY HAVE RUBBED AGAINST THE AUTOCHANGE SPINDLE
THIS LP HOWEVER HAS ESCAPED ALL OF THAT AND IS IN SUPERB PLAYTHROUGH CONDITION
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATES THE CRISP CLEAN MONO REPRODUCTION. JUST PURE FIRST PRESS MONO SOUND.
HAVING MENTIONED THAT A HEAVY STYLUS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS DISTORTION, I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT THIS ALBUM PLAYS WITHOUT ANY.
THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE OF 'TIL I MET YOU' WHICH OFTEN SOUNDS TERRIBLE AND IS THE ONE TRACK ON WHICH YOU CAN JUDGE THE QUALITY OF THE ENTIRE ALBUM, BECAUSE IF THIS PLAYS WELL, THEN 99 TIMES OUT OF 100 THE REST OF THE LP WILL BE SUPERB AS WELL
EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED. CRISP , CLEAN, AND LOUD
THERE IS NO HEAVY CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES THERE IS THE LIGHTEST SPECK OF BACKGROUND STATIC LIKE STUFF WHICH CAN BE OCCASIONALLY HEARD, AND OCCASIONALLY IN THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO T DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS ALBUM FOR YOURSELF

STUNNING GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION
