Description
I have come across a collection of records that defy time.
They belonged to a collector who was buying in the mid to late 60's through the 70's and 80's
However his family have said that he didn't own a record player until the mid 80's.
Very strange I know, but what it means is that the early records have in most cases never been played or at the most one play.
Naturally people's tastes in music change and that's why the 80's albums have had more play than the 60's
There are some incredible records in this collection
I aim to release one per day and will list them at 8pm UK time so that they don't get confused with my other listings
I will also be playing each record and recording IT. My very very careful test play will go undetected however

THE BASE COLOUR STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND IS ALSO UNRUBBED, AND UNMARKED, ON ALL FOUR ALBUMS
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN
EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN'T SEE ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLES WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
THE VINYLS GLEAM LIKE BRAND NEW DISCS.
THEY LOOK TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
'PARANOID' SHOWS SOME EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS SO I HAVE PLAYED ONE SIDE OF THIS AS WELL

'PARANOID' - WHEN I PLAYED THE SIDE WITH THE HAIRLINE. I HEARD A FEW TINY LITTLE TICS DURING PLANET CARAVAN
I AM PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE AUDIO AS MINT / NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THE BOX IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION
NO CORNER SPLITS
NO CREASES
NO RUBBING OTHER THAN A TINY SPECK ON A COUPLE OF THE LID CORNERS
