THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PURPLE LABELS ARE ALL MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE MARK ON EITHER OF THEM, AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PRISTINE.
NO MORE THAN 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME OF THE NORMAL ULTRA FINE WISPY HAIRLINES.
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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND HEARD THROUGH THE SONG WHEN YOU ARE REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPEAKERS
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE NEAR MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE CAPITOL PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND NO RIPS TO THE DIE CUT HOLE ( A SMALL NICK)
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT
THE SMALL RED LINES YOU WILL SEE ON THE FRONT ARE WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS PLACED A MARK EVERY TIME EITHER THE A OR B SIDE WERE PLAYED, GIVING AN ACURATE HISTORICAL AND FACTUAL AMOUNT OF PLAYS THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
