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 JET LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, . THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD ONE PLAY IN THE 38 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED
THE VINYL
THE DISC HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES
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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS PERFECT STEREO REPRODUCTION. THIS SHOWS THAT THE ONE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1976 WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
CLEAR AND CRISP SOUND THAT PAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, JUST THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, AND NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS DISC EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS!!!TAKE A VERY GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION.
THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THE EMBOSSED SPACESHIP LOGO IS ABSOLUTE PRISTINE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, JUST TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR, NOR EVEN ANY TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, WITH ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS JUST PERFECT.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECTLY ADHERED. NO PEEL OR FLAKE. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND LEGIBLE AND LIKE THE OTHER EDGES THERE IS NO RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS WHATSOEVER
THE REAR SURFACE IS ONCE AGAIN IMMACULATE WITH AN ULTRA GLOSSY SHEEN. NOT ONE!! LAMINATE LINE NEAR ANY OF THE EDGES
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER
THE ORIGINAL ISSUE CARD INNER WITH THE 'CURVED ' CORNERS ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO CREASES AND A PERFECT THUMB NOTCH. NO SPLITS OR WRINKLES EITHER
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
