Description
I have come across a collection of records that defy time.
They belonged to a collector who was buying in the mid to late 60's through the 70's and 80's
However his family have said that he didn't own a record player until the mid 80's.
Very strange I know, but what it means is that the early records have in most cases never been played or at the most one play.
Naturally people's tastes in music change and that's why the 80's albums have had more play than the 60's
There are some incredible records in this collection
I aim to release one per day and will list them at 8pm UK time so that they don't get confused with my other listings
I will also be playing each record and recording IT. My very very careful test play will go undetected however

THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK PINK COLOURED IMMEDIATE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION.
THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. NO LOSS OF COLOUR, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE ONLY 1-2 VERY FAINT SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS . UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PRISTINE
THE TEST PLAY
THIS FIRST PRESS ALBUM PERFORMS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES.
THE MOST OBVIOUS THING WHEN HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME IS THE CLARITY AND LOUDNESS OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION. IT IS JUST SUPERB. EVERY NOTE HEARD AS IT WAS INTENDED
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO HEAVY CRACKLING OR CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ALMOST NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND. JUST A LITTLE IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AS NEAR MINT FOR THE PLAYTHROUGH
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO FIND IN ANY DECENT SORT OF COLLECTABLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED AND VERY THIN
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS INTACT AND UNRUBBED
NO RING WEAR JUST A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE TOP AND BOTTOM
THERE ARE SIX SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. THREE ON THE TOP EDGE, THREE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THERE IS A SMALL GLOSSY MARK IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES BOTH HAVE VERY MILD SHELF WEAR AT THE CORNERS AND A FEW RANDOM WHITE SPECKS ALONG THE SURFACES
THE SPINE IS FULLY COLOURED WITH JUST THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS LIGHTLY RUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AND SOME VERY LIGHT BURRING.
THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT. THE GLOSSY PATCH IS IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS PRESENT AND IN UNSPLIT CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE EX+
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
