Vinyl:
Appearance:
Deep Gloss. A couple of wispy paper sleeve rubs. No scratches
The vinyl has been thoroughly play tested:
Very brief soft noise just at the beginning of track one, side one.
Only momentary and no louder than a soft whisper.
Cleans up considerably afterwards. Exceptional sound reproduction. Excellent dynamics and a broad sound stage.
I decided to keep this sound by transferring the LP onto
my Akai reel-to-reel tape recorder.
I've heard the modern vinyl release of this record and prefer the vintage issue.
Having said this, in careful listening, some very light noise may be heard
between some of the tracks in the dead wax area.
Also heard occasionally in a song but fairly scarce here.
It's light stuff and although part of the listening experience it doesn't
take much away from enjoying this extraordinary album.
Almost all records sold on ebay are rated visually. While this is a useful process for obvious flaws, such as scratches and rubs, it fails to detect hidden sound problems. What cannot be seen with the eye are tiny particles of dust and grit that are often lodged deep in the groove. These particles cause what is called 'crackle' which sounds somewhat like the sound frying bacon makes while cooking. Normal cleaning methods will not dislodge the grit that causes this problem. The only way then to accurately rate record quality, simply put, is to play it. I am a low volume seller and take the time to thoroughly test the sound quality of records. All records up for sale are play tested. I strive for accurate description of sound quality. Any record with excessive background noise is rejected and not offered for sale.
All records are packaged in a commercial record mailer. Records are removed from the cover before packing to prevent seam splits during mailing. In the case of a single album, the record and cover are placed in a plastic sleeve. They are protected by the ample use of bubble wrap. If more than one album is won, the albums and records are tightly wrapped in cellophane to prevent shifting and are also protected by bubble wrap. The outside of the package is clearly stamped as 'FRAGILE' and 'DO NOT BEND'
You may return any album that does not play to your satisfaction. However, please email me with any problems you have in this regard before return. All albums must be returned in the time alloted and in the same condition and manner as they were shipped. This applies to individual Lps and lots. However, you may not split up lots for a partial refund. I will reimburse your purchase price and original mailing cost. Return mailing cost is the responsibility of the customer. I package records with great care and ship with delivery confirmation. I have shipped thousands of records without breakage or loss and the USPS does a great job with delivery
