Description
DAVID BOWIE - SPACE ODDITY
MAGNIFICENT MINT AUDIO
SCARCE SILVER VINYL LIMITED EDITION - NUMBERED 397
OUTSTANDING MINT SLEEVE IN DIECUT SLIPCASE
FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE
50TH ANNIVERSARY MIX
AS BEFORE I HAVE ANOTHER SMALLER BATCH OF MINT 90'S - 2000'S LPS
THIS AND THE OTHERS WERE OWNED BY THE SAME COLLECTOR WHO HAS LOOKED AFTER THEM IN THE MOST METICULOUS MANNER. THE RECORD HAS EITHER HAD ONE PLAY OR NO PLAYS AT ALL. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THIS COLLECTOR CHOSE TO PLAY THE CD OF THE ALBUM AND JUST COLLECT THE VINYL RECORD.
IN ADDITION EACH RECORD WAS REMOVED FROM IT'S SLEEVE AND PLACED INTO A POLY INNER AND KEPT OUTSIDE OF THE INNER SLEEVE AND PLACED EITHER BEHIND THE SLEEVE IN A PVC OUTER OF PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GATEFOLD IN THE CASE OF A RECORD WITH A GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
THIS ACTION HAS RESULTED IN EVERY COMPONENT PART RECORD, INNER, OUTER SLEEVE REMAINING IN 100% MINT CONDITION
SERIOUSLY IF YOU WIN ONE OF THESE ALBUMS IT WILL BE LIKE YOU HAVE TIME TRAVELLED TO THE DATE OF RELEASE AND PICKED IT UP FROM A SHOP
LET THE PICTURES TELL THE STORY
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND . NO MARKS OR STAINS AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE LABEL.
THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES
THE LIMITED EDITION NUMBER IS HAND WRITTEN IN A SILVER BOX ON SIDE ONE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. YOU CAN TELL THAT IT IS UNPLAYED JUST BY LOOKING AT HOW THE RECORD STILL GLEAMS. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE EITHER, AND IT IS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT,AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
THE TEST PLAY
DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THESE 90'S ALBUM, I CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THEY HAVE HAD LITTLE OR NO PLAY, IN ADDITION TO WHAT I WAS TOLD. I AM NOT THEREFORE GOING TO PLAY THE ENTIRE ALBUM, JUST THE FIRST SIDE OF EACH DISC TO CONFIRM THAT THERE IS NOTHING UNTOWARD IN THE VINYL
THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENTLY
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR ANY CLICKS
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
NO TICS OR POPS
NO BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB AUDIO MINT
