Before grading a record, I may clean it with a maintained Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaning machine using non-alcoholic Record Research fluid. If it is noted, cleaned, you can add a dollar to its value, and expect a crisper, richer and cleaner play! I use a bright light and grade as accurately as possible, visually and sonically with each record. A bright light is on over the turntable.
Each side is viewed then determined whether it needs cleaning. The record is tilted in the light to see if any mark is penetrating the grooves. The record is play tested in the beginning, in-between tracks, and quiet passages, to listen for its quality. If background noise is detected, further play is given to determine severity of deterioration, and then graded. A visual inspection is taken of the vinyl and labels using a halogen lamp, and noted.Description of the records spindle is taken to give additional information of the use and quality of the record. This tedious and laborious process is done so we both have a better understanding of the item.
They have made their own reputation as I do for myself. ABOUT WEAR OF VINYL RECORDS. Scratches that can penetrate the records groove is not the only problem when testing for quality.The needle or cartridge used can be a major culprit to hiss, pops, and clicks. Thus many records have deteriorating factors, without any visual scratches at all, especially the records used in the 60s and 70s. Audiophile technology had not yet been advanced with the invent of the lightweight cartridge.
In those days, pennies, nickels or even quarters were placed on top of the needle to make it play more efficient. This added weight wore down the grooves, and created a hissing and crackling sound. Original first pressings are almost always the best pressing. The sound quality is deeper, richer, and bolder and thus, more enjoyable! The musicians were there first hand while it was being produced and engineered.
Reissues are produced by engineers not the artists, and do not have a stake in the quality, like the musicians do. The creative artists and sound engineers work together in collaboration to attain the best end result. The original master tapes are brand new and never stored, thus there is no deterioration of sound. Because of the better quality sound, there is a much higher demand for these first pressings. Have the highest quality sound than most subsequent issues.
