THE RECORD
THE LABELS
BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PASTEL BLUE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS THAT THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE
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 IN IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . THIS IS VERY CLEARLY A MINT VINYL
THE TEST PLAY
I HAVE PLAYED THE LP FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, AND AS YOU KNOW UNPLAYED DOESN T MEAN MINT, AND I AM SURE THAT BIDDERS WOULD RATHER ENSURE THAT THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THAN TAKE A RISK ON A N UNPLAYED VINYL.UNPLAYED DOESN T ALWAYS GUARANTEE MINT
I DO HOWEVER GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THIS ALBUM HAS SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT ANY UNWANTED NOISE IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY 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 THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION ANYWHERE
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
IF THERE IS ANY STATIC AT ALL IT IS TOTALLY RANDOM AND NO MORE THAN A SPLIT SECOND WHERE DUST HAS HIT THE VINYL WHILST PLAYING
I CAN T EVEN SAY I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS UNPLAYED VINYL GRADES MINT WITH EASE
AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC FLOYD ALBUM
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
