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' CONDITION. 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 RECORD

THE LABELS

THE  JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE 

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS  CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE, AND LOOKS TO BE FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY 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 ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I JUST KNOW THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS A DISTORTION FREE REPRODUCTION THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND CRISP.

THERE IS NO  BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS WHATSOEVER.

A CRISP AND CLEAR STEREO REPRODUCTION WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

BARELY A SPLIT SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES 

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS JUST ONE TINY STATIC TIC

SO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

TEXTURED UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES  WHATSOEVER

THE BOTTOM TWO CORNER TIPS ARE LIGHTLY RUBBED

THERE ARE FIVE TINY LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE  BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE HAS VERY LIGHT SHELF RUB WITH A FEW WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE, AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE CORNERS. THE BOTTOM EDGE DOES HAVE A LARGE AREA OF WHITE STARTING AT EACH CORNER

THE SPINE IS IN NICE CONDITION. TAPERED ENDS THAT HAVE LIGHTLY RUBBED TIPS. FLAT WITH SOME MILD FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS, AND TYPEFACE THAT IS UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH A TINY SPECK OF BURRING HERE AND THERE

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

THE ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED JUST A LITTLE NATURAL AGEING

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE AS EXCELLENT PLUS

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