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 TAN EMI 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  RED LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO!!!!  SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND STILL RESIDUAL VINYL INSIDE THE 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. A STUNNING DISC

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

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

ALL YOU WILL HEAR IS THE OCCASIONAL VERY LIGHT  STATIC IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

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

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED FRAGILE TEXTURED 1ST PRESS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR .NO LINES, CREASES, OR BENDS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS

THERE IS JUST ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE  COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING TO THE CORNER TIPS AT ALL

THE SPINE FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, TOTALLY PERFECT IN FACT. AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED WITH TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ALSO UNBLEMISHED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND TOTALLY AS NEW.

THE REAR SURFACE LIKE THE FRONT IS PERFECT. NONE OF THE  COLOURING HAS BEEN RUBBED WHATSOEVER. THERE IS ONE TINY LINE NEXT TO THE TOP EDGE AND THAT'S ALL

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION .  NO STAINS OR CREASES. IN MINT CONDITION.

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT !!!

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