*****************************************

FROM A RECENTLY PURCHASED COLLECTION OF TOP QUALITY  LPs OWNED FROM A JAZZ FAN WHO CARED FOR HIS LPs AND EQUIPMENT AND STORED AWAY FROM LIGHT AND HEAT ON STURDY SHELVES FOR OVER 50 YEARS!

ONE OWNER SINCE NEW!! 

THERE ARE ONLY A FEW ULTRA FAINT AND TINY SURFACE  MARKS/PATCHES IN STRONG LIGHT .

A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE BUT NO NASTY CLICKS/STICKS/JUMPS etc 

A   JAZZ COLLECTORS DREAM-PLEASE READ ON FOR IN DEPTH DETAILS!!

I HAVE NOT FOUND SUCH BREATHTAKING QUALITY FOR A DOUBLE LP OF THIS VINTAGE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.THEY ARE SIMPLY NOT TURNING UP AS FREQUENTLY AS THEY DID,EVEN FIVE YEARS AGO.MOST HAVE NOW LEFT THE UK FOR THE COLLECTIONS OF JAPAN,AMERICA AND THE FAR EAST NEVER TO RETURN TO THE SELLING MARKET.

THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO GET SUCH A BRILLIANT DOUBLE LP LIKE THIS ONE IN SUPERB EXCELLENT CONDITION!

PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF THE BRIGHTNESS AND SHARPNESS OF THE LABEL AND THE FRONT COVER!

NO WRITING,NO RIPS,NO SPILLAGES,NO NASTY LARGE CREASES.

DON'T FORGET JUST HOW EXPENSIVE LPs WERE FOR THE AVERAGE BUYER.A DOUBLE LP WAS USUALLY A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED PURCHASE OVER WEEKS AND EVEN MONTHS,WHICH EXPLAINS WHY SO FEW TURN UP.

THIS IS THE ONLY COPY I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS AND YEARS.

CHECK OUT YOUR SET IF YOU HAVE ONE-CAN YOU REALLY PUT UP WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE GOT AND WILL YOU REGRET IT LATER?

IF NOTHING ELSE THIS IS A FANTASTIC INVESTMENT!

I AM SURE TO REGRET NOT KEEPING IT BUT THAT'S LIFE!

THE HOUSE IS FULL AS IT IS! 

THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A HI-FI BUFF.IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS RECORD TO APPEAR ON EBAY FOR YEARS DIRECT FROM SOMEONE WHO WAS A CONNOISEUR! 

THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE.

WHILST I AM IN THE BUSINESS TO SELL, I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THE ITEMS I AM SELLING.

IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET SUCH AS EBAY, THIS IS GETTING RARE SO YOU CAN BID WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE!

VERY NICE THICK"GROOVED LABELS"PRESSING!  

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS SET IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO"CATCH"ANY GROOVE WEAR AND THAT IS BEING STRICT! 

NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!/NO DISTORTION!

Just how many were preserved like this one FROM A FUSSY RELIABLE COLLECTOR ??!!!!!!  

The MONO ONLY mixes are Superb and full of bass, with a natural warmth from those LP days OF OVER 50 YEARS AGO!

In the  1950s, many were using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds at the time not aware that years later even the slightest damage would be evident on more sophisticated audio.

The 1950s equipment was quite often a bit basic and it was suggested to play LPs at between 5 and 8 grammes, which of course after a few plays would produce on later plays that nasty"film of fizzy distortion"so often IGNORED by sellers and in MY LISTENING GRADING is ALWAYS LISTENED OUT FOR WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AND PLAYED TWICE TO ENSURE THE BEST AND MOST ACURATE GRADING!!!! 

 To find SUPER copies all these years later is getting almost impossible!FACT!

THEY ARE SIMPLY DRYING UP! 

These mixes are far punchier but are rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear JAZZ  and always will be!  

GREAT WIDE RANGE SOUND WITH GREAT BASS!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

There is NO spindle wear.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults.

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER SET-EXAMINE YOURS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!   

THE LPs WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS! 

As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!

Realistic  £15 STARTING price with no annoying reserve. 

HARDLY ANY  LPs OF THIS VINTAGE SELL FOR LESS AND I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THEY ARE.DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF IT SELLS QUICKLY.

DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!!!!!!!!!!!THIS SET MAY NOT BE REPEATED FOR A LONG TIME! 

THIS IS A GREAT CHANCE TO OWN A SUPER AND RARE DOUBLE LP. A GREAT INVESTMENT!
