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 test playing each record prior to listing . My very very careful test play will go undetected however

THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE MULTICOLOURED VERTIGO LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RICH COLOURS THAT ARE FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.
NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHATSOEVER.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EXACTLY THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION.
I BELIEVE YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL UNPLAYED VINYL BY THE WAY IT FEELS WHEN YOU TRY TO REMOVE IT FROM THE INNER SLEEVE, AND THIS FEELS EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON ALL FOUR SIDES
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO DUST POPS OR ANY OTHER UNWANTED NOISES
THIS UNPLAYED ALBUM HAS THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE OF MINT!!!!
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
GLEAMING WHITE SURFACE WHICH REMAINES UNMARKED
THE TOP EDGES HAVE PERFECT COLOURS AND UNBLEMISHED CORNERS
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO WEAR TO EITHER TIP END
THE OPENING EDGS ARE RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE INNER SURFACES
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT.

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT
