Description
I have been an obsessive collector of vinyl LP's and singles for many years, and from the very first I have always been very careful about the condition of the records I have bought. Once in my posession the records have been well stored and always very carefully handled. If the records have been played at all, it has always been on a good quality hi - fi system, the deck being a Linn LP12 deck with a top of the range arm and cartridge.
As a result, most of the many thousands of items in my collection are in excellent condition or better.
Now, in order to create more space at home, I have decided to cut the collection back to a core of my personal favourite artistes, and to dispose of the remainder. These I intend to list for auction over the coming months.
Here for auction is a really nice copy of the rare private pressing LP by Cracked Mirror called 'Cracked mirror' from 1983. according to the rare record price guide there were only 200 of these pressed.
The unlaminated outer sleeve is in excellent condition with hardly any signs of bumping or creasing and it would be near mint except for a very small area of wear visible in the photos just above and to the right of my supporting hand. In this area there are two or three tiny spots where the white subsurface shows through the black part of the 'cracked mirror' design. This is very minor but I always believe in bringing all the significant issues to the attention of my buyers. Many would hardly notice or care about this small area of wear.
The unlined white inner has no faults.
The all important vinyl is generally a strong excellent but there is one visible surface mark near the end of side B. This extends across two tracks and into the runoff. I mention this because if I was bidding I would want to know about it, but this is a purely cosmetic effect - I have played right through this area with my Linn and there is absolutely no detrimental audible defects.
So there it is, an unusual item, and in generally excellent original condition; overall I would rate this copy EX/EX.
It is offered at No RESERVE and at a very low opening bid price.
