THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN HARVEST BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED. THE FACTORY SAMPLE STICKER IS FIRMLY ATTACHED TO SIDE 1

A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES.

THE VINYL

THIS ROCK SOLID HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND LOOKS SUPERB. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED . IN DAYLIGHT THE LP LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND  WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

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 BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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

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 LP SOUNDS.

THE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND CRISP. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND ENSURING THAT THE VINYL WAS PLAYED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS. ALL OF THE QUIETEST MOMENTS ARE CAPTURED HERE FOR YOU TO MAKE THE CALL.

NO FRYING BACON AND NO LOUD CLICKS TO SPOIL THIS FANTASTIC 1ST PRESS. EACH NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED

THERE ARE A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE, BUT NO VINYL NOISE, AND BARELY A SPLIT SECOND HERE AND THERE OF STATIC

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC MINT MINUS  !!!!

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
