I HAVE UNEARTHED A LARGE COLLECTION OF ROCK ALBUMS THAT ARE IN A CONDITION THAT DEFIES BELIEF!!
THEY BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO DID EXACTLY THAT - COLLECT THEM!!!
NEVER PLAYED!!! AND NEVER HANDLED!!!
THEY WERE FOUND INSIDE A LOCKED ROOM WHERE THAT HAVE SAY UNMOLESTED FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
IT IS AS THOUGH THEY WERE BRAND NEW SHOP STOCK, BUT OF COURSE THERE IS ONLY ONE COPY OF EACH RECORD.
SO OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I AM GOING TO BE LISTING THESE NIGHTLY. YOU HAVE JUST THE ONE CHANCE TO SNAP UP SOMETHING UNIQUE IN THE COLLECTING INDUSTRY NAMELY ' A VINTAGE UNPLAYED VINYL!!!
NOW HAVING SAID THAT I WILL BE RUNNING A TEST PLAY ON EACH OF THEM TO RECORD THE VINYL FOR BIDDERS TO LISTEN TO, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ACTUALLY GUARANTEE MINT!!! WHAT I DO GUARANTEE IS THAT MY VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE CREAM BRONZE COLOURED LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE LIGHT BROWN TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS NO SPIDER LINES AROUND IT WHATSOEVER, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE (NOT AT ALL) THIS VINYL HAS BEEN NEAR A TURN TABLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM ONE WISPY HAIRLINE ON SIDE TWO. THE VINYL HAS THAT FEEL ABOUT IT WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE INNER SLEEVE THAT YOU ONLY GET WITH AN UNPLAYED DISC
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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND JUST A FEW SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT !!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THE GLOSSY COLOURS ARE ALL THERE AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE JUST TWO SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE, HAVING ALL OF THEN BLACK COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNRUBBED
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE GLOSSY BLACK SURFACE IS SUPERB, WITH JUST ONE WHITE PIN PRICK SHOWING OVER THE CATALOGUE NUMBER ON THE FRONT LEADING EDGE AT THE BOTTOM. THE VERY TIP END AT THE BOTTOM ALSO HAS A SPECK OF RUBBING
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP,AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO MARK FREE AND ONLY HAS TWO SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND ANOTHER ALONG THE TOP EDGE
THE PLAIN WHITE ' HOME TAPING ' INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE SURFACE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
