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 RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE VERTIGO SPACESHIP LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE GREEN AND BLUE BASE COLOURS FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE  SPIDER LINE NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN HOWEVER IT DOESN'T LOOK MINT DUE TO SOME SURFACE STREAKS ACROSS BOTH SIDES OF THE VINYL. THESE I BELIEVE HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE INNER SLEEVE, AS THEY ARE TOTALLY NON SOUNDING WHEN THE RECORD IS PLAYED.

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE 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 BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

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.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT OCCASIONAL EMBEDDED STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 2-3 MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  MINT MINUS!!!    IT IS THAT GOOD

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

REMEMBER THAT THE LP DOESN'T LOOK AS GOOD AS IT PLAYS!!

THE SLEEVE

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED FRAGILE 1ST PRESS ROBERT STACE SLEEVE 

THE SLEEVE INCREDIBLY STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP ON IT AND IS IN THE MOST PERFECT CONDITION. THE SHRINK ITSELF IS TOTALLY UNSPLIT ANYWHERE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR BENDS . THE ORIGINAL STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED IN THE LEFT CORNER

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP  AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH  IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED SURFACE , ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED

THE SPINE FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND THIS EVEN INCLUDED THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS WHICH ARE IMMACULATE. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND TOTALLY AS NEW.

THE REAR SURFACE  IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION.

THE ORIGINAL CARD PICTURE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION .  NO STAINS OR CREASES. IN MINT CONDITION

THE TRACK LIST INSERT IS ALSO IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT !!!

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