I HAVE JUST COME ACROSS A COLLECTION OF 70'S VINYL THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO PURCHASED LP'S AND 90% OF THE TIME DIDN'T PLAY THEM AT ALL!!!. A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE COLLECTION WERE STILL IN THE SHOP CARRIER BAGS OR PAPER BAGS (BOOTS / W.H.SMITH ETC). TO SAY THAT THIS COLLECTION IS IN PERFECT CONDITION IS ALMOST AN UNDERSTATEMENT!. THE SLEEVES MATCH THE RECORDS AND ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION. AND MOST HAVE PERFECT CORNERS WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIPS UNRUBBED!!!
I WILL BE RELEASING THESE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS A FEW A DAY. HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET 40 YEAR OLD VINYL IN THE SAME CONDITION AS IT WAS IN THE SHOP!!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE VERTIGO LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. FULLY RUNNING UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND WHITE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE IS STILL A SHARD OF VINYL HANGING FROM THE HOLE ON SIDE TWO
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES
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
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC BECAUSE BEING UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE A MINT REPRODUCTION! I DO HOWEVER GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
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.
THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC ANYWHERE
NO DUST POPS OF TICS EITHER AT ANY POINT IN THE PLAY
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT !!!
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED PHONOGRAM SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES.THE SHEEN IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND LOOKS SUPERB.
THE BLACK COLOUR IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, AND THIS IS PRETTY UNUSUAL FOR THIS SLEEVE
THERE IS ONE ABSOLUTELY MICROSCOPIC LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE , TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR .
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE DELICATE BLACK SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, EVEN THE TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED.
THE SPINE IS JUST OUTSTANDING. 100% FLAT AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED.THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND PRISTINE. THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS CLEAN AND STILL WHITE AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNRUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE AND AGAIN HAS A GLEAMING SURFACE. ONE TINY LINE NEAR THE SPINE . AND ONE ON THE TOP EDGE.
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ONE FOR THIS FIRST PRESS WHICH WAS RELEASED ON APRIL 25TH 1980. THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER HAS THE CODE 15803 WHICH DECRYPTED MEANS 15.3.80 IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY MINT CONDITION. NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, UNSPLIT , A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION ONLY
