I HAVE COME ACROSS A LARGE COLLECTION OF VINYL ALBUMS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO TOOK CARE OF HIS ALBUMS IN A MOST MAGNIFICENT WAY. VIRTUALLY EVERY ALBUM IN THIS COLLECTION WAS REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE AND PLACED INTO A HIGH GRADE ANTI-STATIC INNER. THIS HAS MEANT THAT THE ALBUMS HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPLIT THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE FOR ONE, AND SECONDLY HAVE REMAINED IN THE MOST PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLLECTOR ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE NEVER PLACED A FINGER ON THE VINYL AND ALWAYS HELD THEM BY THE EDGES. THEY WERE ALL PLAYED ON A LINN TURNTABLE

HERE THEN IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB A 30 YEARS OLD PLUS ALBUM IN 'AS NEW' CONDITION. EVERY RECORD THAT I LIST FROM THIS LOT WILL BE RECORDED ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO HEAR FROM THE LINK AT THE TOP OF THE AUCTION PAGE.

PLEASE NOTE I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO HEAR THE SOUNDS ON A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET, SO PLEASE USE A PC TO HEAR THE AUDIO!

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE JET LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, . THE BASE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD ONE PLAY IN THE 38 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED

THE VINYL

THE DISC HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS 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 FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS PERFECT STEREO REPRODUCTION. THIS SHOWS THAT THE ONE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1973 WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A PERFECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

CLEAR AND CRISP SOUND THAT PAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, AND NO BACKGROUND STATIC ANYWHERE EITHER

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS OR EVEN STATIC TICS

TAKE A VERY GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SHOREWOOD SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NO BENDS OR FOLDS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS

THERE ARE SIX SMALL LINES LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR, NOR EVEN ANY TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR PRISTINE, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, ONE MINUSCULE NICK ON THE TOP EDGE, AND A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS MAINLY FLAT WITH A LITTLE SQUASH ON THE TITLE OF THE LP. BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE REAR SURFACE IS ONCE AGAIN NEAR PERFECT WITH AN ULTRA GLOSSY SHEEN. NOT ONE LINE NEAR ANY OF THE EDGES, JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT PRESSURE LINES

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND DOESN'T HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER

THE  ORIGINAL ISSUE CARD INNER WITH THE  'CURVED ' CORNERS ARE IN  UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO CREASES AND A PERFECT THUMB NOTCH. NO SPLITS OR WRINKLES EITHER. THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT FOXING 

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