Description
FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com
I have acquired a Large Paul McCartney collection, where the original owner had two copies of each title. Looking at the one set in particular it would appear that he had one for playing and one for storing.
They were all housed in a proper record case so no chance to get damaged
I am going to release these one per day in the original release order, so starting on Sunday 28th April with the Debut solo album
If you want the best copy that money can buy then look no further

THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE RED AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS NO SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE, AND THE LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
GLEAMING DISC THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE LP STILL LOOKS BRILLIANT WITH JUST A FEW OF BARELY VISIBLE WISPY HAIRLINES
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS LP IS THE THAT STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION THROUGH GROOVE WEAR, WHICH OF COURSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ON AN UNPLAYED VINYL.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OF ANY DESCRIPTION
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE EITHER
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ANDTHE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
A FEW RANDOM TINY LITTLE DUST TICS / POPS AND THE ODD MINUSCULE SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT AND MAKE A JUDGEMENT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
