Description

PERFECT CRIME IS NOT PUNK, HOWEVER IN MY OPINION, ON THIS RECORD ANIMAL AND ANL KNUCKLED DOWN AND  MASTERED THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF COMPOSING SONGS, THIS SERVED THEM PERFECTLY WHEN THEY RETURNED BACK TO HARDCORE IN THE FUTURE.


DON'T BE PUT OFF BY THE MULLET HAIRSTYLES AND STRIPED WALL STREET SHIRTS, THIS IS A MELODIC, THOUGHT PROVOKING INTELLIGENT LP, ON THE WATERFRONT AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS MY ENGLAND, ARE ASTUTE MASTERPIECES.


IF YOU ARE ONLY AWARE OF EARLY ANL, LIKE WE ARE THE LEAGUE AND SINGLES LIKE FOR YOU, PLEASE, I URGE YOU TO CHECK OUT THE MORE RECENT MATERIAL, YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN BY MASTERING SONGS, I WANNA BE LIKE CHARLIE HARPER IS A CORKER.


2 HEARTBEAT JUMPS ON SIDE 1, THIS WAS NOT OVERBEARING AND SHOULD NOT AFFECT YOUR ENJOYMENT. SIDE 2 PLAYED MINT.


Perfect Crime, is definitely an LP, that divided the fans, to such an extent, that I even heard Animal, on a much later, live recording, almost apologise for it.



Do you know what, if you are a group, who wants to hang around, for a bit, at some stage, you have to master the craftsmanship involved, in composing songs, and that's exactly what the ANL, mastered here, and it set them up for a career, that has now crossed, 2 centuries.


Waterfront and Johannesburg are gems, but probably not Punk.  


Welcome To The Cool Vault!


Just like you, myself and Cath are dedicated music collector's, the vinyl that we are selling is from our own combined collections!


We are very passionate,and reasonably knowledgeable about all the music we list!

For your consideration we will try to source the best music on the planet including Blues, Soul, Lounge Lizard, Country,Punk, Reggae,Jazz, funk etc.


We try really hard to list music for all tastes!

It is very important to us that you collect the very best genres and artists that will enhance your collection!


We have been informed by our customers that we list an eclectic catalogue of music, yes indeed! That is our aim!


Some of this music, you will know and love, however we urge you to take a chance,if your eye is attracted to an album cover,then that is an indicator that you will probably enjoy the journey!


These records are from our own private collection, we have known most of them since they where babies.


We are in a good position to point out all of the good and not so good details!

We grade all our records as honestly as we can and  will point out all the little details that we think you, as a collector needs to know!


They say a picture is worth a thousand words!

We upload loads of pictures for your consideration.

We do not use stock photos, so please look at all pictures carefully!


Use the zoom magnifer provided by eBay. What you see in the picture is exactly what you are buying, if you see something that you do not like, please do not buy!


Get in touch instead so we can give you more information and then you can make your decision!

We will do everything we can to make your purchase a happy one!


For your reassurrance, all of the vinyl that we sell is test played in its entirety!

This is the only way that, we can guarantee that you are buying quality!


AS GRADERS OF VINYL WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE AUDIO PLAYBACK SOUND IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE. SUPERFICIAL MARKS AND HAIRLINES DO NOT WORRY US, IF THE RECORD PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT.  AS A CUSTOMER, WE FEEL THAT THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR YOUR PURCHASE.


IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT WE HAVE AN AUDIO PLAYBACK SOUND BIAS, RATHER THAN VISUAL.


PLEASE BE CAREFUL BUYING VINYL THAT IS NOT PLAY TESTED. A RECORD CAN LOOK GREAT, BUT PLAY TERRIBLY. THE AUDIO TEST REVEALS ALL, THE GOOD AND THE BAD.


This rigid quality control process is obviously a slow process, but our mantra is, if it is not good enough for our collection,then it is not good enough for your collection!


We are over the moon that so many of you have saved us as a favourite seller, and we are delighted when you come back for more!


Many of you also enjoy a browse at our very popular big CD and cassette sale that is running concurrently with our big vinyl sale!


Recently we have begun to list Multi Media Value Bundles, and judging by our feedback these streaming busting deals are going down a treat!


We use the Uk Record Record Collector System for all our vinyl, I will not cut and paste this here, as you can goggle this very easily, instead I will explain some misunderstandings, that arise from time to time.


Grade Excellent does not mean, New, or like New, this would be graded as Mint.

I rarely sell Mint, I only use this grade if the record is sealed and unopened, or if I genuinely believe, that the vinyl has only been played very, very rarely.


I do however use Near Mint, I use this grade when I am absolutely delighted with the quality and audio playback of the vinyl.

A cut above grade Excellent!


Grade Excellent is a record that has been well looked after and stored by a conscientious collector and shows evidence of being played.



Grade Very Good means, normal, reasonable wear or tear considering the age of the record or cover.


If you are buying anything below grade VERY GOOD, PLEASE LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS, BUT MY ADVICE IS TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND.


Please let me explain, obviously if you require MINT CONDITION, at all times, and are a very strict audiophile, then you will not be looking at this grade at all, however if you are a more casual, general, music fan, that just enjoys a few cracking tunes, then a slight defect or two, might not spoil your overall enjoyment.


I once sold a record by The Who, that can be very expensive, for very cheap, I think I graded it between GOOD and FAIR. It only had a little heartbeat jump or two, near the very end. The buyer was absolutely delighted, and he informed me that because he was retired would not have been able to afford, this first pressing, in pristine condition. He sent me me a picture of himself, holding it up with a smile, from ear to ear.


If a grade GOOD or FAIR delights me on a certain level, and I strongly believe that it has merit for a collector, then I will list it, especially if it is a rare record, or if certain parts, of the majority of playback blows me away, with enjoyable, audio sound.


I will obviously give you a lot of information, for any vinyl, below grade VG, so that you can make an informed decision. I normally will describe, in detail, why I think that this particular album is worth considering.


As a general rule, I prefer to list records at VG or above. I discard quite a few records below VG, but sometimes I will list grade GOOD OR FAIR, if it has a certain merit, like the LP, I sold by The Who, and other records, especially, albums, from the late fifties, and early sixties, that had a lot of play, and handling, but still, have, so much more to give.


All our Records will be cleaned and ready for your turntable.


All records will be enclosed in a clear protective outer cover.


I wish you the very best with your collecting, Vinyl is one of the world's most beautiful and precious resources!


The added bonus is that you are Investing and not spending.

Quality vinyl, by well loved artists and genres like Punk, Metal, Blues, Soul, Jazz, Reggae etc, can only appreciate in value, as collectors, hold, and quality of supply, becomes, more limited.


Thanks again for taking the time to look at this record, the very fact that you are viewing this proves you have exquisite taste in music.

I really look forward to doing business with you in the very near future!


We are very excited about the music we have currently listed,and even more excited about the album's we will be listing soon on an ongoing basis!


THE COOL VAU
