THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT, THE BASE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS 1-2 MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THE DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND GLEAMS LIKE NEW. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN SOME MINUSCULE WISPY HAIRLINES, A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF TINY SURFACE HANDLING LINES
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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS.
NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES. SIDE TWO HAS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND AS THE DISC STARTS BUT DISAPPEARS AS THE MUSIC STARS
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER, OR EVEN AND MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
