I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO SOMEONE WHO LOOKED AFTER THEM INCREDIBLY WELL, WHERE THEY WERE PLACED INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES FROM NEW, AND ONLY PLAYED ON A BANG & OLUFSEN HI FI

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY CLEAR AND LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS SUPERB ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A FEW TIME EVER

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. YOU CAN TELL THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED JUST BY LOOKING AT HOW THE RECORD STILL GLEAMS. THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO THE SPOTLIGHT ARE THERE A COUPLE OF WISPY LINES TO BE SEEN

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, INCLUDING THE RUN IN'S, RUN OUT'S AND THE LINKING GROOVES. IT'S ALL HERE. . I DO THIS BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS TO PERFECTION VIRTUALLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH THE STEREO REPRODUCTION CLEAR AS A BELL AND EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED. ON SIDE TWO FOR A FEW ROTATIONS AT THE VERY START THERE IS A LITTLE EMBEDDED STATIC LIKE STUFF AND A TINY DUST POP

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC EITHER OTHER THAN THE SPECK AT THE START OF SIDE TWO

THERE ARE NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE ONE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
