.
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 I AM CERTAIN THIS VINYL WAS RECORDED AND PRESSED BY ISLAND,OR WARNER BROTHERS DUE TO THE MATRIX NUMBERS USED IN THE DEAD WAX.
ONLY THESE TWO LABELS USED THE STYLE OF MATRIX NUMBER THAT YOU FIND IN THE DEAD WAX ON THIS ALBUM.
I HAVE TWO OTHER COPIES AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE STANDARD A//4 v 420 STYLE OF MATRIX NUMBER.
IN FACT THE NUMBERS OF MY OTHER COPIES ARE A4/B3, AND A3/B4.
THUS IT IS REASONABLE TO ASSUME THAT THE ISLAND PRESS WAS THE FIRST ISSUE, AND WITH IT THE FAMILIAR ISLAND EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IS LIKELY TO APPEAR.
PROBABLY WHY THE PRESSING WAS CHANGED SO HEAR WE HAVE AN ORIGINAL 1ST ISSUE PRESS THE VINYL PLAYS WITH A LITTLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHICH IS AUDIBLE IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND MORESO IF YOU ARE ON TOP OF YOUR SPEAKERS.
MOVING TO A NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE IT IS VIRTUALLY UNDETECTABLE.
CERTAINLY DURING LOUD PASSAGES IT CANNOT EVEN BE HEARD CLOSE TO THE SPEAKERS.
TYPICAL ISLAND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR EVEN ANY LOUD CLICKS THE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE SOUNDS A LITTLE STATIC LIKE, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY NOISE I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY TICS JUST BEFORE THE MUSIC STARTED ON SIDE ONE BY ALL RIGHTS THIS ALBUM, IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS, SHOULD GRACE MINT BUT DUE TO THE LIGHT VINYL NOISE I HAVE TO GRADE THIS AS NEAR MINT BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE THE SLEEVE UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN.
