THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE.
AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , POSSIBLY A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES 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, ALLOWING ANY POTENTIAL BUYER TO HEAR EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE RUN IN GROOVE AND THE LINKING GROOVES AS WELL AS THE INCREDIBLE FIRST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION.
I DO THIS 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 VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THAT THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL ANYWHERE NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS MINUS DON T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THE SLEEVE UNLAMINATED TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE LIKE GREEN RIVER THIS SLEEVE BECAME THE BAND S SECOND TEXTURED COVER, AND THUS MAKING IT MORE VULNERABLE TO WEAR AND DAMAGE.
