THE SLEEVE ON THIS COPY HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY MISPRINTED AT THE FACTORY. I HAVE TO SAY I AM AMAZED THAT IT WAS ALLOWED TO BE RELEASED LIKE THIS. CLEARLY THE IMAGES AND TEXT ARE SUPERIMPOSED CREATING A BLURRY EFFECT. OBVIOUSLY NOT DETECTED AT THE QUALITY CONTROL, AND I WONDER HOW MANY LIKE THIS MADE IT OUT INTO THE WORLD. I HAVE CERTAINLY NEVER SEEN ONE BEFORE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED , WHITE AND BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, WHEN PLACED UNDER A REALLY STRONG LIGHT THERE ARE SOME ULTRA WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES VISIBLE. CLEARLY MADE BY THE INNER CARD SURFACE OF THE INNER SLEEVE WHICH DOES HAVE A SLIGHTLY TEXTURED FEEL TO IT. THE GREAT THING HOWEVER IS THAT THESE ARE TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL AND HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE PLAY WHATSOEVER
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, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS SOUND IN EVERY WAY.
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS POWERFUL AND CLEAR AS A BELL
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS
CERTAINLY NO VINYL NOISE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT EVEN RANDOM SPECKS OF LIGHT STATIC. THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT!
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT FOR THE REPRODUCTION
TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM AND BE THE JUDGE YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
