I HAVE COME ACROSS A LARGE COLLECTION OF VINYL ALBUMS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO TOOK CARE OF HIS ALBUMS IN A MOST MAGNIFICENT WAY. VIRTUALLY EVERY ALBUM IN THIS COLLECTION WAS REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE AND PLACED INTO A HIGH GRADE ANTI-STATIC INNER. THIS HAS MEANT THAT THE ALBUMS HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPLIT THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE FOR ONE, AND SECONDLY HAVE REMAINED IN THE MOST PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLLECTOR ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE NEVER PLACED A FINGER ON THE VINYL AND ALWAYS HELD THEM BY THE EDGES. THEY WERE ALL PLAYED ON A LINN TURNTABLE

HERE THEN IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB A 30 YEARS OLD PLUS ALBUM IN 'AS NEW' CONDITION. EVERY RECORD THAT I LIST FROM THIS LOT WILL BE RECORDED ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO HEAR FROM THE LINK AT THE TOP OF THE AUCTION PAGE.

PLEASE NOTE I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO HEAR THE SOUNDS ON A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET, SO PLEASE USE A PC TO HEAR THE AUDIO!

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE PASTEL BLUE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND IS UNMARKED AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS THAT THERE ARE ZERO!!! SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES AND IN DAYLIGHT IN IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS,  AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE . THIS IS VERY CLEARLY A MINT 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 PLAYED THE LP FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, AND AS YOU KNOW UNPLAYED DOESN'T MEAN MINT, AND I AM SURE THAT BIDDERS WOULD RATHER ENSURE THAT THE LP PLAYS PERFECTLY THAN TAKE A RISK ON A N UNPLAYED VINYL.UNPLAYED DOESN'T ALWAYS GUARANTEE MINT

I DO HOWEVER GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED

THIS ALBUM HAS SO MANY SILENT PASSAGES THAT ANY UNWANTED NOISE IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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 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 CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND EVERY NOTE CAN BE HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEANLY. THERE IS NO DISTORTION ANYWHERE

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ALL, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

IF THERE IS ANY STATIC AT ALL IT IS TOTALLY RANDOM AND NO MORE THAN A SPLIT SECOND WHERE DUST HAS HIT THE VINYL WHILST PLAYING

I CAN'T EVEN SAY I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS UNPLAYED VINYL GRADES MINT !!! WITH EASE

AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE COPY OF THIS CLASSIC FLOYD ALBUM!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THIS SLEEVE HAS  BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND HAS THUS BEEN KEPT IN AN INCREDIBLE COLLECTIBLE CONDITION.

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE , THE FIRST THING TO SAY IS THAT THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEN PERFECTLY RETAINED. THERE IS NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR FOLDS. AND INCREDIBLY JUST ONE  LINE NEAR THE TOP OF THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE OR THE BOTTOM EDGE FOR THAT MATTER, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE STICKER IS NEATLY AND FIRMLY AFFIXED IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR THE JET BLACK COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND AMAZINGLY EVEN THE CORNER TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED.

THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS PERFECTLY INTACT. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE TOTALLY UNRUBBED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITHOUT ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS WHATSOEVER

THE REAR SURFACE OF THIS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE IS IN THE SAME IMMACULATE CONDITION AS THE FRONT. AGAIN NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO BLEMISHES TO THE COLOURS. JUST ONE SMALL LINE ON THE SPINE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PAIR OF  MINT INNERS PANELS

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN MINT CONDITION IT IS THE CORRECT BLACK POLY LINED INNER WITH THE ROUNDED BOTTOM CORNERS. IT IS IMMACULATE. NO SEAM SPLITS, NO CREASES AND NO MARKS OR STAINS

THE ORIGINAL OWNER PLACED THE VINYL INTO A VRP ANTI STATIC INNER AND THIS IS ALSO INCLUDED

HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS !!!!!

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