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 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.
This album is Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers' classic self-named debut LP on the Shelter Records label ISA 5014.
Matrix marks A-1/B-1 - First English pressing. "WJH" also engraved in dead wax.
Vinyl grading is basically mint. One light spindle mark on the label on one side from the record cleaning machine or the test play but this record shows no signs of ever having been played before that and sounds like new - you won't find a better original copy!
Test played superbly on my Rega RP6 turntable with dynamic sound and very low overall background noise.
The original ROBERT STACE sleeve retains its original lustre and shows only the slightest corner/edge wear - nothing of any significance - A SUPERB COPY! Check out the photos below.
I dispatch worldwide in reinforced heavy duty LP mailers with cardboard reinforcements either side.
Please see my other listings with many auctions of classic rock albums to come so save me as a favourite seller. Typical postage prices as follows and combined postage with other albums saves money (double album counts as 2 records):
