I HAVE JUST COME ACROSS A COLLECTION OF 70'S VINYL THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO PURCHASED LP'S AND 90% OF THE TIME DIDN'T PLAY THEM AT ALL!!!. A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE COLLECTION WERE STILL IN THE SHOP CARRIER BAGS OR PAPER BAGS (BOOTS / W.H.SMITH ETC). TO SAY THAT THIS COLLECTION IS IN PERFECT CONDITION IS ALMOST AN UNDERSTATEMENT!. THE SLEEVES MATCH THE RECORDS AND ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION. AND MOST HAVE PERFECT CORNERS WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIPS UNRUBBED!!!

I WILL BE RELEASING THESE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS A FEW A DAY. HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET 40 YEAR OLD VINYL IN THE SAME CONDITION AS IT WAS IN THE SHOP!!!

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN HARVEST LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE  BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO!!!!  SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM 2-3 WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES

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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC, AS UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE A MINT PLAYTHROUGH. I DO GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

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 STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED

NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH  MINT !!!     IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
