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 BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE GRUNT LOGO IS ALSO PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED
THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SPIDER LINES AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
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 AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AT ALL ANYWHERE
NO DUST POPS WHATSOEVER
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL AS MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS
