I HAVE COME ACROSS A LARGE COLLECTION OF VINYL ALBUMS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO TOOK CARE OF HIS ALBUMS IN A MOST MAGNIFICENT WAY. VIRTUALLY EVERY ALBUM IN THIS COLLECTION WAS REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE AND PLACED INTO A HIGH GRADE ANTI-STATIC INNER. THIS HAS MEANT THAT THE ALBUMS HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPLIT THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE FOR ONE, AND SECONDLY HAVE REMAINED IN THE MOST PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLLECTOR ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE NEVER PLACED A FINGER ON THE VINYL AND ALWAYS HELD THEM BY THE EDGES. THEY WERE ALL PLAYED ON A LINN TURNTABLE

HERE THEN IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB A 30 YEARS OLD PLUS ALBUM IN 'AS NEW' CONDITON. EVERY RECORD THAT I LIST FROM THIS LOT WILL BE RECORDED ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO HEAR FROM THE LINK AT THE TOP OF THE AUCTION PAGE.

PLEASE NOTE I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO HEAR THE SOUNDS ON A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET, SO PLEASE USE A PC TO HEAR THE AUDIO!

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS JUST ONE BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINE ROUND IT.

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 APART FROM ONE ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINE ON SIDE TWO

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, AND BARELY A SPLIT SECOND OF STATIC HEARD IF AT ALL IN THE RUN IN GROOVES ONLY

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

SEMI-LAMINATED  GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE  SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND REMAINS UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE JUST FOUR SMALL LINES  NEXT TO THE SPINE . ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IN MINT CONDITION WITH THE  COLOURED SURFACE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, PLUS EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN UNSQUASHED CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF INSIGNIFICANE PRESSURE POINTS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE.

ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND FULLY RUNS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM, AND EVEN THE TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND ALSO SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BEEN BARELY OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT

THE CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO WRINKLES OR CREASES, MARKS OR STAINS, JUST A LITTLE NEAR INVISIBLE NATURAL AGEING TO THE EDGES

THE V.R.P ANTI STATIC INNER SLEEVE WHICH HAS BEEN USED FROM THE DAY OF PURCHASE IS IN UNSPLIT LIGHTLY WRINKLED CONDITION

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
