THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORIGINAL YELLOW AND BLACK MONO LABELS IN MINT CONDITION. THE BLACK BASE COLOUR AND YELLOW LOGO'S ARE BOTH UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS ZERO!!!! SPIDER LINES AROUND IT SHOWING JUST WHY THIS SUPERB VINYL HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT CAME OUT OF THE PRESS. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM 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 AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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
THIS MONO ALBUM PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. NO VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EITHER
NO CLICKS BUT WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS THE OCCASIONAL TINY LITTLE POP AND TIC. SIDE TWO TRACK ONE HAS THE MOST.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC
I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM NEAR MINT MINUS!!!!!!!
