THE LABELS
THE ORANGE AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE APPEAR TO BE ONLY 2-3 SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE

WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE ON EACH SIDE, AND ON SIDE ONE A COUPLE OF NON SOUNDING HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
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 DOUBLE ALBUM, SO THAT AS A POTENTIAL BIDDER YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY THE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE
BOTH LP'S PLAY SUPERBLY WELL WITH OUT ANY MAJOR FLAW, SO NO CLICKS , POPS, SCUFFY NOISES OR STICKS ETC
ALSO NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THIS SET HAS RECEIVED WAS CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
BOTH DISCS PLAY WITHOUT ANY MORE THAN THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND APART FOR A LITTLE IN THE RUN IN GROOVE ON EACH SIDE, ALTHOUGH SIDE THREE HAS A LITTLE FOR THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OR SO
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS RECORDING SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
I WOULD SAY THAT THE AUDIO GRADING SITS AROUND THE EX+/NM GRADE
