THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE GLOSSY ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CAN JUST ABOUT MAKE OUT 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAY LIGHT. PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE 3 NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINES ON SIDE ONE AND ONE ON SIDE TWO, PLUS A FEW 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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, 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 ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THERE ARE ONE OR TWO TINY SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HEARD VERY OCCASIONALLY

THERE ARE SOME MINUSCULE RANDOM TINY STATIC TICS

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION

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