MULTIPLE BUYS AND 1ST CLASS POSTAGE ETC: If you purchase more than one item or would prefer 1st Class postage and additional tracking please DO NOT PAY, message me and wait for an invoice. At which time I can charge the appropriate postage, thereby discounting the postage. The packaging I use can hold up to 3 albums, therefore greatly reducing postage costs where applicable.
Because of being covered as below, the cover is in excellent condition, no signs of wear/storage and with minimal ring wear.
Around this time, I stored a lot of albums in thin plastic sleeves and sellotaped them to the open edge of the cover. Therefore, the cover remains in excellent condition, although signs of the sellotape fixings can be seen inside the cover. Obviously, no thought to the effect on the value 50 years later!
Excellent vinyl, no obvious scratches/blemishes visible.
Appears to be the original plain paper inner sleeve, which shows blemishes/staining etc, also an additional Nagaoka anti-static sleeve.
Part of quality collection of Mobile Fidelity releases, Half-Speed Masters, Direct Cut Masters and over 120 Japanese Pressings included in a total of 1500 albums.
I have been an audiophile for over 50 years and all vinyl etc lovingly cared for, and since the original purchase perfectly stored on appropriate shelving and in a smoke free environment. As far back as the late 60’s a friend built me a beautiful solid wood cabinet to store the vinyl, which I used for over 40 years. Later using additional Habitat “storage cubes” which were perfect for albums at 13” x 13”
My turntable is not currently wired up (no suitable equipment) has not been used for over 12 years, therefore other that the look of the vinyl I am unable to comment on the presence of pops/crackles etc.
Recently a sold Moody Blues half-speed master album was rejected by the purchaser because of a musty smell and slight stains on the inner sleeve (the vinyl was immaculate). It was from a series with their own brand of inner sleeve. A friend has subsequently confirmed the smell with a similar release not yet sold. My sense of smell must be failing me because I could not smell the mild odour, I also cannot often smell the diffuser in my hall. My failing eye sight obviously did not spot the blemishes on the sleeve. My sincerest apologies if I miss any blemishes or odour again. I shall try my best.
In 1987 I started on a wonderful journey, and still going on, collecting Grateful Dead music. Involving thousands of cassettes (over 3000), 150 PCM tapes, 300 DAT Tapes and currently 4700 Cd’s, and over 800 duplicates etc. discarded. This involved 6 Nakamichi Decks and 2 Professional DAT machines.
With this commitment I hardly played any vinyl.
