THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FOR THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE BY PLACING THEM INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES. THEREFORE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE RECORDS THAT I WILL BE LISTING FROM THIS COLLECTION WILL HAVE MINT, MINT MINUS OR AT THE WORST NEAR MINT SLEEVES!
THE INNER SLEEVES HAVE ALL BEEN KEPT FLAT AND UNWRINKLED AND FURTHER ENHANCE THE COLLECTION.
THE VINYLS ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE, WITH A FEW HAVING NEVER BEEN PLAYED, AND AGAIN THE GRADING'S VARY BETWEEN MINT AND NEAR MINT...NOTHING LOWER.
THE RECORDS WERE PLACED INTO THOSE RECORD BOXES WITH HANDLES ON THEM, ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT OR SUNLIGHT AND COLD.
FINALLY THERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER TITLES IN THIS COLLECTION, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THIS AMAZING SELECTION OF 197O'S ROCK ALBUMS
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK BUDDAH LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER VERY CLOSE SCRUTINY I CANNOT SEE ANY MORE THAN 1-2 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE LP HAS BEEN VERY VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED AND BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE .
THE VINYL
BOTH DISCS HAVE RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT BOTH LOOK ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAT 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 LP AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS AS 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
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FIRST PRESS ALL THE WAY, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ALL.
THIS FIRST PRESS AUDIO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES WHATSOEVER, JUST THE PURE CLEAN AND CRISP SOUND GENERATED FROM THIS VINYL
FAULTLESS AUDIO AND JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF STATIC HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES . NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN TINY STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH AND A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS
THIS HAS TO GRADE MINT MINUS
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS FOR YOURSELF AND YOU BE THE JUDGE!!
THE SLEEVE
UNLAMINATED UK MACNEILL GATEFOLD SLEEVE
NEAR MINT CONDITION SLEEVE HAVING SPENT ALL OF IT'S LIFE INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND IS VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE. ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURS HAVE BEEN RETAINED. ABSOLUTELY NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. THERE IS A LITTLE COLOUR LOSS ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP ON THE TOP EDGE WHICH SHOWS A LITTLE ON THE FRONT SURFACE
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND ZERO!! TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION . SOME LIGHT RUB TO THE RIGHT HAND CORNER AREAS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE VULNERABLE COLOURS ARE ALL THERE AND ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS SHOW A SPECK OF RUBBING. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP ANOTHER CLEAR SIGN THAT THE VINYL HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE FOR THE LAST 45 YEARS
THE REAR SURFACE AS A LITTLE GREYING TO THE BLACK AREA AND A COUPLE OF LIGHT PRESSURE LINES AT THE TOP
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. TOTALLY UNSPLIT AND STILL MINT. HAS THE CORRECT DATE PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER 0970.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
