- THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE IS JUST 1-2 TINY LITTLE SPIDERS LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE.
THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF VINYL THAT CAN BE FELT AND HEARD WHEN PLACING THE LP ONTO THE TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS.NOT A MARK OR FINGERMARK ANYWHERE TO BE SEEN. AND EVEN UNDER UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES. A PRISTINE DISC IN EVERY WAY
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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE CLEAR AS A BELL
THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS.
HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY VIRTUALLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH JUST THE ODD SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC HERE AND THERE ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LITTLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE INSIDE TRACK ONE SIDE TWO FOR 30 SECONDS OR SO
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN A SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY NOT ONE DUST POP ANYWHERE.
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
