THE LABELS

THE RED AND PLUM LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE WHITE BAND IN THE MIDDLE IS STILL PURE WHITE ALL THE WAY ACROSS.

THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UN-RUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE SOME SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING LIMITED PLAY

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION ALL THAT IS VISIBLE ARE A FEW EXTREMELY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES, A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE SURFACE HANDLING LINES. AND ON SIDE TWO A TINY LITTLE SCUFF MARK (SEE PIC)

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, AND I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING ANY BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB RECORDING BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR BID , AS I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY TO PLACE THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION.

THIS VINYL PLAYS EVERY BIT AS SUPERBLY AS IT LOOKS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS STEREO SOUND IN EVERY WAY.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

CERTAINLY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED

THE LINKING GROOVE ARE EXTREMELY SILENT ADDING TO THE QUALITY OF THE REPRODUCTION

THERE ARE A FEW TINY LITTLE TICS JUST AS SIDE ONE TRACK TWO IS ENDING, AND TWO MORE AS TRACK THREE STARTS, AND OTHER THAN THAT PERHAPS 2-3 MORE OVER THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO PERFORMANCE NEAR MINT

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
