I HAVE RECENTLY ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF ALBUMS AND SINGLES THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO WORKED FOR THE RCA RECORD COMPANY BETWEEN 1976- 87
MANY OF THE COLLECTION WERE RCA RECORDINGS AND MOST OF THESE WERE UNPLAYED ALBUMS
THOSE THAT BUY FROM ME WILL KNOW THAT I PRIDE MYSELF ON DELIVERING THE ACTUAL RECORDING OF THE ALBUM THAT I LIST FOR THE POTENTIAL BIDDER TO HEAR BEFORE BIDDING. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE I HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE THESE BOWIE ALBUMS IN THEIR UNPLAYED STATE.
I HAVE DESCRIBED BELOW THE EXACT CONDITION OF THE ALBUM, BUT I WANTED TO LEAVE THIS SMALL BATCH OF GREEN LABEL RCA REISSUES TOTALLY AS THEY CAME TO ME, IN UNPLAYED CONDITION
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE.
THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS
IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
THIS IS A TOTALLY MINT CONDITION AS NEW VINYL
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.
AS MENTIONED ABOVE I HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE THESE BOWIE ALBUMS IN THEIR ORIGINAL UNPLAYED CONDITION
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY FREE FROM ANY LOSS OF THE DELICATE COLOURS. THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHATSOEVER.
NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS.
THERE ARE JUST THREE TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE LIGHT SHELF WEAR. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE ON BOTH SURFACES, WITH JUST THE TWO RIGHT CORNERS OF THE TOP EDGE HAVING A LITTLE WEAR , AND THE BOTTOM EDGE SHOWING A COUPLE OF SCUFFS
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND THERE IS NO SCUFFING OR WEAR TO THE LEADING EDGES WHICH SO OFTEN SHOWS ON THIS SLEEVE. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE,
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND AMAZINGLY NONE OF THE SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER, WHICH AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS LIKE THE FRONT TOTALLY IMMACULATE, AGAIN NO CREASES AND JUST THREE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT IT IS THAT GOOD
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
