THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BLACK  BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED, THE WHITE  TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN'T SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW NON SOUNDING CLEAR LINES ON A FEW GROOVES

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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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

NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO RECORDING AND A CRISP AND CLEAR REPRODUCTION

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER, AND ONLY A FEW RANDOM SECONDS OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES ONLY

I AM CERTAIN THAT IS DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE DULL TICS JUST AS THE FINAL TRACK STARTS ON SIDE TWO

I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
