RECENTLY I SOLD A BATCH OF 80'S ROCK LP'S THAT WERE IN THE MOST OUTSTANDING CONDITION. I BELIEVE I HAVE BETTERED THAT NOW WITH A COLLECTION OF 70'S ROCK ALBUMS THAT ARE IN A CONDITION THAT DEFIES BELIEF.

THEY BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO WAS ABSOLUTELY METICULOUS WITH THEM. MOST ARE PLAYED JUST ONCE OR SOME NOT AT ALL, WITH A FEW HAVING 2-4 PLAYS AT MOST. THE VINYLS ARE JUST PERFECT AS YOU WILL HEAR WHEN YOU PLAY THE SOUNDBITES.

BACK IN THE 70'S RECORD SHOPS LIKE W.H SMITHS SOLD NUMBERING SYSTEMS SO THAT COLLECTORS COULD CATALOGUE THEIR RECORDS. IT INVOLVED A SHEET OF GUMMY NUMBERS IN SMALL SQUARES, WHICH WERE PLACED ON THE ALBUM SLEEVE. THE CORRESPONDING NUMBER WAS ALSO ON A RECORD CARD WHICH THE OWNER FILLED IN WITH THE ALBUM DETAILS. WHILST THIS DOES CAUSE A SMALL RESIDUAL MARK ON THE SLEEVE, ANYONE WHO COLLECTED RECORDS IN THIS WAY USUALLY CARED FOR THEM AND PROTECTED THEM LIKE THEY WERE THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THEIR LIVES.

THIS COLLECTION IS NO DIFFERENT. THE LP'S WERE ALL HOUSED INSIDE STRONG RECORD CASES, MEANING THAT THEY WERE PROTECTED FROM THE LIGHT, SO THERE HAS BEEN NO FADING OF THE COLOURS, AND BECAUSE THERE WERE ONLY 20 IN EACH CASE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR, AND IN MOST CASES THE SLEEVES ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN. YES IT MAY NOT BE EVERY COLLECTORS DESIRE TO HAVE THE SMALL NUMBER SQUARE ON THE SLEEVE, AND I COULD REMOVE THEM WITHOUT DAMAGING THE SLEEVE, BUT I AM GOING TO LEAVE THE DECISION TO THE NEW OWNER WHETHER TO REMOVE OR NOT.

ALSO WORTH A MENTION IS THE FACT THAT THE INNER SLEEVES ON MOST OF THE LP'S ARE ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNWRINKLED. JUST NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVES!!!!

LET ME JUST SAY THAT IN MY OPINION YOU WILL NEVER EVER GET A BETTER CHANCE TO GET A ONCE PLAYED, UNPLAYED OR BARELY PLAYED 70'S CLASSIC ROCK ALBUM!!!

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGE CBS LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. A SOLID BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN AND THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN IS FLAWLESS AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY MINT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A MINT VINYL IN EVERY WAY

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.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND BARELY A SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC AT THE START OF EACH SIDE FOR A FEW ROTATIONS, AND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES 

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY  MORE THAN  2-3 DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
