1987 UK ISSUED MAGNUM/METEOR MTBS 001

THE FIRST DECENT SET TO BE SEEN ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE IN MONTHS FROM A RELIABLE POWER SELLER AND LONG TERM COLLECTOR!  

BARELY BEEN PLAYED!

TOTALLY WONDERFUL MUSIC!

GREAT VERSIONS!

125 x HISTORIC RECORDINGS OF THE YOUNG SINATRA THAT ARE IN DECENT SOUND,FAR,FAR BETTER THAN SOME OF THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS ISSUED WITH ELECTRONIC STEREO OR EXTRA ECHO OR GENERAL MUFFLED SOUND!

THESE TRANSFERS HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH CARE AND ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOUND FAULTS AND VARIABLE QUALITY AS TO BE EXPECTED WITH"OFF THE AIR"RECORDINGS OF OVER 50,IN SOME CASES OVER 70 YEARS AGO,THE SOUND IS QUITE CLEAR AND DOES NOT SUFFER FROM ANY"FIDDLING". 

A SUPERB SET HOUSED IN  CLEAN ,GLOSSY BOX WITH A GOLD PRINTED SPINE AND NO SPLITS,NO STAINING OR REPAIRS.

IT WAS PROBABLY PLAYED ONCE IF AT ALL. 

EVEN THE MOST CAREFUL FANS WOULD HAVE PLAYED IT DOZENS OF TIMES,THIS LP BOX SET IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT!.

LP EQUIPMENT OF THOSE THAT BOUGHT THIS BACK IN 1987 WAS SOMETIMES STILL BASIC AND CLUMSY RESULTING IN GROOVE WEAR AND DISTORTION ON COPIES THAT SURVIVE-THIS SET BEING AN EXCEPTION!!!!

OLD EQUIPMENT USED BY SENIOR CITIZENS WHO MIGHT HAVE HAD SIMILAR SETS,WAS OFTEN CRUDE-HEAVY TONEARMS AND MANY BUYERS UNAWARE OF THE NEED TO CHANGE THE STYLI ON A REGULAR BASIS!!!!   

BARELY PLAYED WITH OUTSTANDINGLY QUIET VINYL AND NO SURFACE MARKS!  

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN UPGRADER SET THAN THIS COULD BE THE ONE FOR YOU!

REALISTIC £20 START WITH FREE POSTAGE INCLUDING RECORDED DELIVERY TO THE UK.

EUROPE £15 REST OF THE WORLD £25.IT'S A HEAVY ITEM AND I WILL NOT DO THIN PACKING! 

IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD  EXPERTS/DEALERS.

MUSICALLY FRANK SINATRA RECORDED ALMOST ANY SONG WORTH SINGING FROM THE LAST CENTURY.HE COULD HANDLE SLOW BALLAD SINGING AS WELL AS  BIG BAND TYPE UPTEMPO NUMBERS.

THESE RECORDINGS ARE TIMELESS AND FASCINATING. I AM SURE SOME OF THE SONGS WERE NEVER RECORDED BY SINATRA FOR STANDARD RECORDS BUT OF COURSE I CANNOT BE 100% SURE. 

THINK YOU CAN SING A BIT? WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE SHEER PERFECTION OF HIS VOCAL ABILITY,EVEN IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS!

THE SONGS INCLUDED ARE AS FOLLOWS:

 *******************************************************************************

FROM A RECENTLY PURCHASED COLLECTION OF TOP QUALITY  LPs OWNED FROM NEW BY A FORMER BOSS OF ESQUIRE RECORDS WHO HARDLY USED HIS LPs AND STORED AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT ON SHELVES FOR 20+ YEARS!

THERE IS HARDLY ANY SURFACE  NOISE OR SIGNS OF USE.

NO CLEANING WAS NECESSARY! AMAZING!!! 

A SONG STYLIST/FRANK SINATRA COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH BREATHTAKING QUALITY FOR AN LP SET OF THIS VINTAGE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A  BRILLIANT 6 LP SET LIKE THIS IN ALMOST AS NEW CONDITION!

NO CLEANING WAS NEEDED,THE SURFACES GLEAM,NO FINGERPRINTS,PATCHES OR BAD STORAGE ISSUES,NO WARPING,NO SCUFFS,NO SCRATCHES,NO FADING etc.

PLEASE LOOK AT  THE PHOTO!

NO WRITING,NO RIPS,NO SPILLAGES,NO STAINING,NO CREASES.    

THIS IS ABOUT THE BEST SET I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS AND YEARS.

CHECK OUT YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?

IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!

THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A HI-FI BUFF AND BEING A RECORD COMPANY BOSS(JAZZ LABEL-ESQUIRE)HAD FRIENDS AT PYE WITH THE BENEFIT OF GETTING THE BEST AND INDEED IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS RECORD TO APPEAR ON EBAY FOR YEARS DIRECT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THESE ARE GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

VERY NICE PRESSINGS!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS SET IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER ,EVEN AT HIGH VOLUME WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

AN LP SET THAT HAS BEEN PLAYED ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIMES,POSSIBLY AS FEW AS 2-3 HAVING SPOKEN AT LENGTH TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SON.

Just how many were preserved like this one FROM A RELIABLE INDUSTRY SOURCE ??!!!!!!  

In the 1980s, many were STILL using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find immaculate SETS all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear FRANK SINATRA and always will be!  

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues,inferior USA issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER SET-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

THE LPs AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE COVERS BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £20 STARTING price with no annoying reserve. 

HARDLY ANY  LPs OF THIS VINTAGE SELL FOR LESS AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THEY ARE.DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT SELLS QUICKLY.

DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME! 

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER  6 LP SET. A GREAT INVESTMENT! 

Postage is FREE AND RECORDED DELIVERY -1ST CLASS TO THE UK.SOLID PACKING FAR BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF SELLERS-LOOK AT THE FEEDBACK FOR PROOF! YOU WILL GET IT IN FINE SHAPE!!
