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 ECT). 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 RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE RICH AND VIBRANT BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE,AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND CLEAR AND LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 1ST PRESS HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. AS I PLACED THE LP ONTO MY TURNTABLE I COULD HEAR AND FEEL THE SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE HOLE GIVING WAY TO THE SPINDLE
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A NEW DISC, AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE WHATSOEVER. A PRISTINE 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 FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 VINYL, AS AN UNPLAYED DISC DOESN'T GUARANTEE A MINT DISC. I DO GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED HOWEVER
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER,AS OF COURSE THERE SHOULDN'T BE WITH AN UNPLAYED DISC.
THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
TWO TINY DUST POPS IN ONE LINKING GROOVE , AND NO AUDIBLE STATIC
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE IN MINT!!!! CONDITION.
LIKE THE REST OF THE COLLECTION THIS SLEEVE IS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO FIND. IT HAS CLEARLY BEEN PERFECTLY HOUSED AND PROTECTED FROM NEW
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER ON THIS SURFACE AND ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! LINES BY THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE PERFECTLY SHARP AND SQUARE
NOT ONE SPECK OF RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE STILL IN MINT CONDITION. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR IS THERE AND RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. NOT ONE IOTA OF RUBBING TO ANY OF THE CORNERS.
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT, WITH THE CORRECT TAPERED ENDS AND COMPLETELY UNSQUASHED. NO RUBBING TO THE TIP ENDS AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS IMMACULATE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP, AND AS NEW.
THE REAR SURFACE, IS IN THE SAME INCREDIBLE CONDITION AS THE FRONT . TOTALLY PRISTINETHE CARD INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FLAT AND NO CREASES WHATSOEVER. THE TOP OPENING EDGE HAS A THUMB NOTCH WHICH IS ALSO UNBLEMISHED. THERE ARE NO SPLITS TO ANY OF THE SEAMS AND NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
