- THE RECORDS
I HAVE UNEARTHED A LARGE COLLECTION OF ROCK ALBUMS THAT ARE IN A CONDITION THAT DEFIES BELIEF!!
THEY BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO DID EXACTLY THAT - COLLECT THEM!!!
NEVER PLAYED!!! AND NEVER HANDLED!!!
THEY WERE FOUND INSIDE A LOCKED ROOM WHERE THAT HAVE SAY UNMOLESTED FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
IT IS AS THOUGH THEY WERE BRAND NEW SHOP STOCK, BUT OF COURSE THERE IS ONLY ONE COPY OF EACH RECORD.
SO OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I AM GOING TO BE LISTING THESE NIGHTLY. YOU HAVE JUST THE ONE CHANCE TO SNAP UP SOMETHING UNIQUE IN THE COLLECTING INDUSTRY NAMELY ' A VINTAGE UNPLAYED VINYL!!!
NOW HAVING SAID THAT I WILL BE RUNNING A TEST PLAY ON EACH OF THEM TO RECORD THE VINYL FOR BIDDERS TO LISTEN TO, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ACTUALLY GUARANTEE MINT!!! WHAT I DO GUARANTEE IS THAT MY VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLES SHOW THAT THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! SPIDER LINES AROUND THEM
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS ON ALL FOUR SIDES. AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE WHATSOEVER. PRISTINE 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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE PURE FIRST PRESS. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS. HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH .
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC BETWEEN THE TRACKS
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS EITHER THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT!!!
PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS CLEAN AND SHINY AND HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS ON IT WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES NOR ARE THERE ANY CREASE LINES EITHER.
THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT, AND ARE PERFECT AND UNRUBBED
THERE IS JUST ONE INVISIBLE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE HIDDEN IN THE RED SECTION. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE EITHER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
ALSO NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE TO EITHER THE FRONT OR BACK
THE TOP EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY MINT. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOUR RUNS FULLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED.
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS JUST A SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE TWO RIGHT CORNERS
THE SPINE HAS ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT AND IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL THE COLOURS ARE PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE PRISTINE.
THE OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT . TOTALLY PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED, AND NO LINES ALONG ANY OF THE EDGES
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNERS
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION, BOTH TOTALLY WHITE AND FLAT. UNSPLIT SEAMS. NO CREASES OR WRINKLES, JUST A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD IMPRESSION.
