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. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT VINTAGE VINYL IN THE SORT OF CONDITION THAT YOU COULD ONLY DREAM ABOUT..LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID, AS I HAVE RECORDED EVERY SINGLE SECOND

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 ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE 3-4 SPIDER LINES ROUND THE HOLE,

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,EXCEPT FOR A TINY AND I DO MEAN BARELY VISIBLE HANDLING MARK, ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A BULB AND NOT IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, BARELY A WISPY HAIRLINE AT ALL. IT JUST HAS NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. IT GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW ALBUM

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, BECAUSE I 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 FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

SECONDLY THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL

THE VINYL PLAYS JUST SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH JUST THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS, PLUS THREE TINY TICS JUST AS SIDE TWO TRACK ONE, STARTS

I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SUPERB DISC'S PLAYTHROUGH AS NEAR MINT  IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT, AND YOU BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS A LAMINATED FRONT , UNLAMINATED REAR E.J .DAY SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND  FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR EVEN BENDS.

THERE ARE TWO SMALL LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, WHICH ARE ALL IN THE LEFT CORNER AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. ONE SMALL THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP  HAS A SPECK OF RUB

THE TOP EDGE IS STILL FULLY LAMINATED AND THIS RUNS UNINTERRUPTED FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON THE LEFT CORNER TIP END ONLY. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB ON EACH TIP

THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS UNLAMINATED  AND SHOWS JUST VERY MILD RUBBING TO THE LETTERING

THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO STILL VERY SHARP CONDITION, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF  THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE LP HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE UNUSUALLY SO, BECAUSE MOST HAVE SOILED BADLY OF HEAVILY AGED. THIS ONE ONLY HAVE THE BAREST SHADOW OF AGEING TO THE EDGES, AND THE MILDEST HANDLING SIGNS. THERE IS ONE TINY LITTLE STAIN JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND APART FROM  BROWNING THOROUGH AGE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, A COUPLE OF LIGHT CREASE TO THE CORNERS

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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