THE OSMONDS - CRAZY HORSES

IN UNPLAYED MINT!!!  CONDITION

STUNNING MINT MINUS SHRINKWRAPPED SLEEVE

ORIGINAL AMERICAN IMPORTED COPY

• CATALOGUE:MGM SE 4851 / POLYDOR 2315 112
• MATRIX:SE4851 / MGS2801
• ' 1972 MGM RECORDS INC ' ETCHED INTO THE DEAD WAX
• THIS LP WAS IMPORTED INTO THE UK BY POLYDOR RECORDS AS NOTED NY THE STICKER ON THE REAR OF THE SHRINKWRAP. IT WAS GIVEN A UK CATALOGUE NUMBER, WHICH DOESN'T APPEAR ANYWHERE BUT ON THE STICKER. SO IF THIS WAS MISSING YOU WOULD BE NON THE WISER ABOUT THE FACT THAT IT WAS IMPORTED BY THE RECORD COMPANY AS MOST OF THE STICKERS WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN AWAY WITH THE SHRINK WRAP

I HAVE JUST COME ACROSS A COLLECTION OF 70'S VINYL THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO PURCHASED LP'S AND 90% OF THE TIME DIDN'T PLAY THEM AT ALL!!!. A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE COLLECTION WERE STILL IN THE SHOP CARRIER BAGS OR PAPER BAGS (BOOTS / W.H.SMITH ETC). TO SAY THAT THIS COLLECTION IS IN PERFECT CONDITION IS ALMOST AN UNDERSTATEMENT!. THE SLEEVES MATCH THE RECORDS AND ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION. AND MOST HAVE PERFECT CORNERS WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIPS UNRUBBED!!!

I WILL BE RELEASING THESE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS A FEW A DAY. HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET 40 YEAR OLD VINYL IN THE SAME CONDITION AS IT WAS IN THE SHOP!!!

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND GOLD LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! SPIDER LINES NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE . THERE IS ALSO ONE VERY LARGE RESIDUAL STRAND OF VINYL ATTACHED TO THE INSIDE OF 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  FLAWLESS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A STUNNING DISC

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

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED ALBUM BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE MINT. I DO GUARANTEE MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

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 THE OCCASION SPECK OF EMBEDDED BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

NO STATIC WHATSOEVER

NO DUST POPS ANYWHERE

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

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL 100% MINT !!!

THE SLEEVE

 NON LAMINATED  SHRINKWRAPPED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP IS A LITTLE SAGGY ON THE BACK WHERE THE JOIN HAS STARTED TO COME ADRIFT, BUT IT IS ALL STILL INTACT AND PROPERLY COVERING THE SLEEVE

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

THE EASILY RUBBED COLOURS ARE ALL IMMACULATE DUE TO THE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY THE SHRINK.

THERE ARE TWO SMALL LINES  NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL VERY MUCH AS NEW. A TINY SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP, BUT OTHERWISE THE COLOURS FULLY RUN FROM CORNER TO CORNER

THE SPINE IS ALSO IN  MINT CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS THE ENTIRE LENGTH . THE YELLOW TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY OF THOSE THUMB NAIL NICKS, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. NO BLEMISHES AT ALL

I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE GATEFOLD DUE TO THE SHRINK SO IT'S CLEAR THIS HAS NEVER BEEN OPENED AND THEREFORE I IMAGINE IT IS IN MINT CONDITION INSIDE

THE KOLB ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNMARKED. IT DOES HAVE ONE SMALL SPLIT ON ONE OF THE SIDES, AND A TEAR TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER WHERE IT WAS DAMAGED REPLACING IT INTO THE SLEEVE.

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE AS MINT MINUS!!!!

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