THE LABELS
THE MAUVE ARE IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. SUPERB DEEP RICH COLOUR WITH A LITTLE RIM DULLING ON SIDE ONE . THERE ARE 2-3 LITTLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERB DISC.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE SOME FINE NON SOUNDING SLEEVE REMOVAL WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, AND A FEW DULL STREAKS AND PATCHES EMBEDDED IN THE SURFACE (NON SOUNDING)
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY 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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT MEANING THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH A WORN OR CHIPPED STYLUS, AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS THE OCCASION LITTLE BIT OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, HEARD IN A FEW OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS / DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
