THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE RED LABELS ARE IN DEEP RICH CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 5-6 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. STUNNING PRISTINE DISC IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHT THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A FEW TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL SURFACE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE ONE, AND A TINY PRESSING DIMPLE ON TRACK FIVE SIDE TWO

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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. THIS IS SO THAT YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LISTEN TO THE QUALITY OF THE LP BEFORE BIDDING.

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP MONO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRISPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. 

PLAYING THE LP THE FIRST THING TO STATE IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ANYWHERE, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED, WAS CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY BALANCED AND UNWORN STYLI.

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE DURING THE PLAY

THERE IS A LITTLE PRESSING DIMPLE ON SIDE TWO WHICH CAUSES 5 ROTATIONAL POPS JUST AFTER THE START OF TRACK FIVE

NO MORE THAN A FEW SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO LINKING GROOVES, AND THIS IS TRUE FOR BOTH SIDES

THIS LP HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED VERY MUCH AND THE AUDIO QUALITY APART FROM THE LITTLE PRESSING FLAW IS SUPERB

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO EXPERINCE AS NEAR MINT FOR SIDE ONE AND EX+ FOR SIDE TWO

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS AS IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT COUNTS
