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

THERE ARE ZERO  SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD VERY LIMITED PLAY IN THE 34 YEARS SINCE IT WAS RELEASED

THE VINYL

THE DISC HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THE WAY IT HAS BEEN KEPT ALLOWS IT TO LOOK TOTALLY MINT!

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS STILL 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 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 OR TWO PLAYS THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1982 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 STATIC BACKGROUND EITHER

I HEARD NO  STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THE VINYL GRADES MINT 

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

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE COLOURS WHATSOEVER

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES

THERE ARE FOUR SMALL LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEARS THE OPENING EDGE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR PRISTINE, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, WITH JUST A FEWE PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE ON THE TOP EDHE AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE TYPEFACE IS  LEGIBLE . THERE ARE SOME WHITE FLECKS OP SHELF RUB TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM LEADING EDGES AND TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME GREAT CONDITION AS THE FRONT. THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE

THE  ORIGINAL BLACK LYRIC HEAVY PAPER INNER IS IN  UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO CREASES AND NO MARKS

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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