AC / DC - LET THERE BE ROCK
IN MAGNIFICENT UNPLAYED MINT CONDITION
OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT SLEEVE
- CATALOGUE:ATLANTIC K50366
- MATRIX: K50366 A / B
- MPO STAMPED INTO THE DEAD WAX BOTH SIDES
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 TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING JUST WHY THE LP IS IN THE INCREDIBLE CONDITION THAT IT IS!!
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IT LOOKS TODAY SOME 39 YEARS ON AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER .
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EITHER
NO DUST POPS AND NO STATIC TICS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!! IT IS THAT GOOD
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE FRENCH MADE SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE POWDERY SURFACE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN NICELY RETAINED.
THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, NOR ANY RECORD IMPRESSION.
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LITTLE LINE NEXT TO THE TOP OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THERE IS JUST THE BAREST LITTLE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END.
THE TOP EDGE HAS JUST A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP AND TWO TINY WHITE CHIPS IN THE MIDDLE.
THE BOTTOM EDGE ALSO HAS A TINY SPECK OF RIGHT CORNER RUB AND A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE SCUFFS
THE SPINE ITSELF IS JUST SUPERB. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE WITH A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP AND A COUPLE MORE ON THE LEADING EDGES
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS AT THE VERY BOTTOM
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . NO COLOUR LOSS, JUST A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE
THE 'CARE OF YOUR RECORD' WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND BARELY HAS A CREASE LINE TO SPEAK OF. IT IS ALSO UNSPLIT
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
