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 RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT.
THERE ARE NO MARKS, STAINS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO MAR THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT THEY ARE IN.
THE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS
WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
AND 3-4 TINY DULL SPOTS ON THE VINYL EMBEDDED
PLAYING THE RECORD
FOR SOME REASON A VERY HARD RECORD TO COLLECT WHERE THERE IS NO VINYL NOISE PRESENT
PARTICULARLY DURING THE TRACK WILD HORSES
I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THIS COPY PERFROMS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
THE STEREO MIX SOUND IMMACULATE AND CRYSTAL CLEAR
NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUND CLICKS OR POPS AND CERTAINLY NO STICKS OR JUMPS
ALL I HEARD WERE A FEW SMALL EXAMPLES OF LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND MAINLY ON SIDE TWO AND A FEW RANDOM TINY STATIC TICS
A REAL PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO LIST A COPY OF STICKY FINGERS THAT IS AS GOOD AS THIS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS HARD TO GET IN TOP CONDITION SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATE
THE FIRST THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE TWO FLAPS AT THE TOP. YOU KNOW THAT THESE ARE USUALLY TORN OR AT BEST BADLY CREASED. THESE TWO ARE JUST PRISTINE!!
I HAVE NOT SEEN A BETTER EXAMPLE
THE COLOURS REMAIN IN PERFECT UNRUBBED CONDITION AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF RING WEAR OR INDEED RECORD SHAPE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE WITH A VERY SMALL DING TO THE TOP LEFT ONE
THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL PRESSURE LINES ON THE LEFT EDGE. NONE ON THE RIGHT AND NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE TOP OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP
THE ZIP HAS THE ROUNDED END RATHER THAN THE MORE COMMON FLAT ONE
THE ZIP SEEMS JAMMED AND I HAVE NOT TRIED TO FREE IT
THE SPINE EDGE WITH THE TYPEFACE ON IT IS PERFECT. THE BOTTOM TAPERED IND IS ALSO FREE FROM ANY RUB
THE RIGHT EDGE IS EQUALLY PERFECT
AMAZINGLY THE BOTTOM EDGE IS IN THE SAME UNRUBBED CONDITION
THE REAR SURFACE IS AL;SO IN PERFECT CONDITION, APART FROM THE USUAL ZIP PRESSURE POINTS. THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE THAT THESE WERE NOT PRESENT WAS TO HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE ONE THAT WAS AT THE BACK OF THE BOX ENSURING THRE WAS NO ZIP BEHIND TO PRESS INTO IT
THE INSERT CARD IS IN PERFECT CONDITION
VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
