COMPLETE WITH NEAR MINT !!!! SLEEVE
TIME VAULT QUALITY!!!!
- CATALOGUE:ATTIC LAT 1130
- MATRIX:LAT1130 A / B
- ' TOWNHOUSE ' STAMPED INTO DEAD WAX
I HAVE UNEARTHED A LARGE COLLECTION OF ROCK ALBUMS THAT ARE IN A CONDITION THAT DEFIES BELIEF!!
THEY BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO DID EXACTLY THAT - COLLECT THEM!!!
NEVER PLAYED!!! AND NEVER HANDLED!!!
THEY WERE FOUND INSIDE A LOCKED ROOM WHERE THEY HAVE SAT UNMOLESTED FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
IT IS AS THOUGH THEY WERE BRAND NEW SHOP STOCK, BUT OF COURSE THERE IS ONLY ONE COPY OF EACH RECORD.
SO OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I AM GOING TO BE LISTING THESE NIGHTLY. YOU HAVE JUST THE ONE CHANCE TO SNAP UP SOMETHING UNIQUE IN THE COLLECTING INDUSTRY NAMELY ' A VINTAGE UNPLAYED VINYL!!!
NOW HAVING SAID THAT I WILL BE RUNNING A TEST PLAY ON EACH OF THEM TO RECORD THE VINYL FOR BIDDERS TO LISTEN TO, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ACTUALLY GUARANTEE MINT!!! WHAT I DO GUARANTEE IS THAT MY VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREY LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED.THE RED LOGO IS ALSO IMMACULATE. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS NO SPIDER LINES AROUND IT, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS LP HAS NEVER BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. THIS IS A MINT CONDITION VINYL
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, NO MORE THAN AN ABSOLUTE SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT !!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A HIGHLY POLISHED MIRROR LIKE SURFACE AND IS FREE OF ANY DEEP CREASES OR CREASE LINES ON THE MAIN BODY OF THE SURFACE. THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE , AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE, FRONT OR BACK
THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH JUST ONE DOT OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE RIGHT CORNER TIP END
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN VERY FLAT CONDITION WITH JUST ONE FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. THE COLOUR IS ALL PERFECT AND THE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE BOTH UNRUBBED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, PRISTINE AND 100% UNBLEMISHED, AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO IS HIGHLY POLISHED AND ONLY HAS FOUR TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE
THE PICTURE / LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO WRINKLES OR CREASES, MARKS OR STAINS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
