THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE 2 SHADES OF BLUE ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HAD LESS THAN AVERAGE PLAY SINCE 1969
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN REALLY CLEAN CONDITION. . THE DISC HAS A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SUPERFICIAL HANDLING LINES BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE FINE WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, AND A COUPLE MORE HANDLING LINES
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, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ABID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE STUNNING BLUES SOUND GENERATED FROM THIS VINYL IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED. DISTORTION FREE AS WELL MEANING THAT THE PLAYS THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A HIFI THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THE LP PLAYS WITHOUT AND SERIOUS BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS. IN FACT THERE ARE SO MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS PERFORMANCE THAT ANY AMOUNT OF BACKGROUND WOULD INSTANTLY BE A PROBLEM
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR ARE RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MAR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE DISC
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FIRST PRESS, AND THIS IS A GREAT SOLID EXAMPLE OF THIS CLASSIC BLUES ALBUM
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE IT EXCELLENT PLUS
PLEASE DONT JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
