OZZY OSBOURNE - BLIZZARD OF OZ
IN MAGNIFICENT UNPLAYED MINT !!! CONDITION
MINT MINUS SLEEVE
- CATALOGUE:JET JETLP234
- MATRIX:JETLP234 A1 / B1
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 BLUE PINK AND YELLOW LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. AMAZINGLY THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE , SHOWING WHY THIS DISC IS IN THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS SUBLIME THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, THIS IS AS MINT AS YOU COULD EVER WISH 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 NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS I 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
THIS IS TRULY A SUPERB AUDIO REPRODUCTION, FROM THIS VINYL
THERE IS NOT A JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT ON EITHER SIDE, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR, WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND EITHER
NO LOUD CLICKS AND I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE SHINES NICELY AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT ORIGINAL COLOUR. THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE THREE MINUSCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER AND ARE IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED CONDITION, ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR IS THERE AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST THE MOST MINUTE SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ONCE AGAIN THE COLOUR IS ALL PRESENT AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO RUBBING OR SHELFWEAR.
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS AND ONLY TWO TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE,NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE
THE VRP ANTI STATIC INNER SLEEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER PRESERVED THE LP IS, IS IN AS NEW CONDITION
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SUPERB SLEEVE MINT MINUS
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
