 TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THE RECORD

THE MULTI COLOURS ON THESE LABELS ARE STILL PRISTINE. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF MARKS OR STAINS ETC. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES UNBLEMISHED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE IS STILL SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING WHY THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED

THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES WHATSOEVER AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

INCREDIBLE GLOSSY MINT CONDITION VINYL, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, JUST BECAUSE 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

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED VINYL BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE MINT. MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY 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 CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS JUST BRILLIANT. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NOTHING AT ALL TO MAR THE SUBLIME STEREO REPRODUCTION.

THIS HAS BEEN CUT VERY LOUDLY AND IS AS GOOD AS ANY VINYL MADE ON 200G 

NO VINYL NOISE AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

I CAN HONESTLY STATE THAT THERE IS NO STATIC ANYWHERE AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
