Description
I am selling some of my personal vinyl collection. Many of these records are UK pressings and were purchased by myself any time from the 1970's onwards. They have been extremely well looked after, most having only been played a handful of times on Linn or Rega turntables with a light stylus tracking force of 1.5 to 1.75 g.
Please read the description below for vinyl condition (as per the Record Collector Grading System), but for most of my records the vinyl can be considered as in near mint or excellent condition, shiny and with no significant marks – basically almost as good as when it came out of the original shop. The covers vary in condition but most are excellent just showing the usual signs of storage. Most have been stored in plastic protective covers.
A word about hairline marks. It is almost impossible to find any non-sealed record without any hairline marks - many had them from new, particularly if sold with cardboard inner sleeves. They are a result of storage and use and have little impact on sound quality. Likewise, very few original vinyl records lie totally flat. As for background noise, all records will have some background noise which varies wildly and often reflects the very variable pressing quality. I have bought new heavy pressing LP's in recent years and many of the original records I am selling not only look better but they sound better! I only draw attention to marks, warping or background noise in my listings if I consider them significant.
All records (unless "mint" to start with) have been cleaned using high quality professional Record Cleaning Machines - either a £3,000 Keith Monks Omni VII RCM or a Moth Pro Mk II RCM. Not only does this wet clean/vacuuming process remove surface marks such as fingerprints, etc, it also significantly reduces background noise and many argue that the lower noise floor results in opening up of the sound and improved fidelity. Following cleaning, records are placed in new inner sleeves.
This album is one that everyone needs in their collection - Pink Floyd's peerless "The Dark Side Of The Moon" LP on the EMI Harvest label SHVL 804 1. This is the second lovely copy I am listing.
Matrix marks A-10/B-9 - Great Britain pressing. "HARRY" etched in dead wax Side 1 and "HTM" etched in dead wax Side 2.
Vinyl grading is Excellent+ according to the Record Collector Grading System, it appears to have been only occasionally played.
Because of the quality of music on this album, many copies have been well played and it is hard to find a good original that plays well without significant background noise. This is such a copy - it plays superbly well, pretty well like a new copy.
Test played superbly on my Rega RP6 turntable.
The original Garrod & Lofthouse gatefold sleeve is in superb condition for its age as it was preserved in a plastic sleeve for most of its life - see large scale photos below. The two posters have never been opened judging by the immaculate condition they appear to be in. The two stickers are also unused. The original EMI inner sleeve is in excellent condition.
Like the other copy I am selling, I consider this AS CLOSE TO A PERFECT COPY as you will find.
I dispatch worldwide in reinforced heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements either side.
