THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FROM 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 RED AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE WHITE AREA IS VERY WHITE WITH JUST  NO DISCOLOURING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE RED AREA IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND UNRUBBED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST SOME SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE AND SOME LIGHT CLOUDY SPECKLES AND STREAKS IN THE VINYL

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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH. I HAVE DECIDED THAT THIS EXTRA EFFORT AND TIME IS WORTH IT TO BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE QUALITY OF THE VINYLS I OFFER. A VERY VALID ARGUMENT IS MADE  ABOUT BUYING FROM EBAY, WITH SELLERS MISDESCRIBING THE RECORDS THAT THEY OFFER. WELL HERE YOU CAN SEE, READ ABOUT, AND NOW HEAR WHAT YOU ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFF MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THERE IS THE ODD SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND A LITTLE AT THE START OF EACH SIDE

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 MINUSCULE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED / STAPLED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

INCREDIBLE  MINT SLEEVE, AND THE REASON IS SIMPLY THAT THE ALBUM HAS BEEN PROTECTED  FROM NEW INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, NOT A MARK ON IT. . THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE.ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED. NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR. THE LAMINATE JUST SPARKLES AND HAD A VERY DEEP SHEEN TO IT. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE PERFECTLY SHARP AND SQUARE

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!!! LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO 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 TOTALLY FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, THE LAMINATE AGAIN IS PERFECT AND UNBLEMISHED. ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE IMMACULATE.

THE  SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. AGAIN ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECT, THE STAPLES ARE FIRMLY IN PLACE AND SHOW NO SIGNS OF RUST OR LOOSENESS. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED EVEN AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP. AND SHOWS CLEARLY WHY THIS ALBUM HAS  NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IMMACULATE, AND IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT.

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN A HINT OF RECORD SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A MINT PAIR OF INNER PANELS , AND A PRISTINE FIRMLY FIXED BOOKLET. NO LOOSE PAGES AND NO WEAR AROUND THE STAPLES

THE ORIGINAL DECCA POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS FLAT AND UNCREASED, WITH ONE LIGHT CORNER WRINKLE,  AND FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT THIS RECORD HAS JUST NOT BEEN ANYWHERE NEAR A TURNTABLE. UNSPLIT AND JUST PRISTINE

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES   MINT !!!!!

• GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
