THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 39 YEARS.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPS
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, AS I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE VINYL HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 MINUSCULE STATIC TICS AND A LITTLE VINYL NOISE AS THE FINAL TRACK ON SIDE TWO FADES OUT
SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
