I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO HANDLED BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE METICULOUSLY. INCREDIBLE ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEKS.

MY LONG STANDING SERIOUS COLLECTOR CUSTOMERS WILL APPRECIATE THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PRISTINE MUSEUM GRADE ALBUM. NEW CUSTOMERS AS WELL, IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTO COLLECTING THEN THIS MUST NOT BE PASSED UP
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK AND GOLD 1ST ISSUE STEREO LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE DEEP RICH COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE GOLD LOGO'S AND TYPEFACE ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 4-5 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES. IN DAY LIGHT THE DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A ONE WISPY HAIRLINE. THIS IS A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE
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 AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE RECORD PLAYS AS NEW ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS AND ALSO UNWORN .
PLEASE PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND THEN YOU WILL TRULY APPRECIATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS 1960 STEREO RECORDING TRULY IS
FIRSTLY THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE MAINLY DEATHLY SILENT WITH JUST THE VERY ODD TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN JUST ONE OR TWO OF THEM AND OCCASIONALLY IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES
YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY CLICKS OR LOUD POPS ANYWHERE THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH, SHOWING ONCE AGAIN JUST HOW SPECIAL THIS ALBUM IS
I HEARD NO MORE THAN 3-4 TINY STATIC LIKE TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
WITH ALL THINGS CONSIDERED AND TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE STUNNING CONDITION OF THIS ALBUM I AM GOING GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT,
HERE YOU HAVE A STEREO 1ST PRESS IN THE MOST UNIMAGINABLE CONDITION POSSIBLE. DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, PLAY ALL OF THE SOUNDBITES AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
