I HAVE UNEARTHED A SMALL COLLECTION OF ROCK ALBUMS THAT ARE IN A CONDITION THAT DEFIES BELIEF!!

THEY BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO WAS METICULOUS AND IN MANY CASES DIDN'T PLAY COPIES, OR HAD TWO COPIES, ONE TO PLAY AND ONE TO KEEP

NEVER PLAYED!!! AND NEVER HANDLED!!!

IT IS AS THOUGH THEY WERE BRAND NEW SHOP STOCK, BUT OF COURSE THERE IS ONLY ONE COPY OF EACH RECORD.

SO OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS I AM GOING TO BE LISTING THESE NIGHTLY. YOU HAVE JUST THE ONE CHANCE TO SNAP UP SOMETHING UNIQUE IN THE COLLECTING INDUSTRY NAMELY ' A VINTAGE UNPLAYED VINYL!!!

NOW HAVING SAID THAT I WILL BE RUNNING A TEST PLAY ON EACH OF THEM TO RECORD THE VINYL FOR BIDDERS TO LISTEN TO, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ACTUALLY GUARANTEE MINT!!! WHAT I DO GUARANTEE IS THAT MY VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED. I HAVE RECORDED THE TEST PLAY AS WELL SO CLICK ON THE AUDIO BUTTON BELOW TO EXPERIENCE THIS AMAZING ALBUM

  TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE AND WHITE MERCURY LABELS ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT. DEEP BLUE BASE COLOUR THAT IS FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO SIGNS OF HANDLING WHATSOEVER.

NO RUBBING TO THE TYPEFACE OR LOGO'S

THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE!! NOT A BLEMISH ON IT. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EXACTLY THE SAME CAN BE SAID ABOUT IT WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION. IF I AM BEING ULTRA PICKY THEN UNDER A SPOTLIGHT I SAW ONE ULTRA FINE SURFACE WISPY LINE IN THE RUN OUT GROOVE ON SIDE ONE

I BELIEVE YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL UNPLAYED VINYL BY THE WAY IT FEELS WHEN YOU TRY TO REMOVE IT FROM THE INNER SLEEVE, AND THIS FEELS EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD

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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.

NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS

NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND NOT EVEN ANY STATIC WHATSOEVER

I HEARD NO TINY DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

THIS UNPLAYED ALBUM HAS TO GRADE MINT FOR THE REPRODUCTION

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATELY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. IT HAS BEEN STORED UPRIGHT IN PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SLEEVE FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE AND BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED HAS HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO GET CREASED

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER ON THE SURFACE AND EVEN THE SPINE ONLY HAS THREE TINY LITTLE PRESSURE LINES BY IT.  NONE  ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

ALL OF THE DELICATE COLOURING IS THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE PERFECT COLOUR ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING ONLY A PIN PRICK TO THE TOP RIGHT FRONT AND THE BOTTOM RIGHT REAR TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR OR TYPEFACE AND ONLY THE TOP TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING THERE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN EXACTLY THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT, WITH JUST THE TINIEST SLIVER OF RECORD IMPRESSION AT THE TOP, AND A TINY SLIVER OF GREYING AT THE BOTTOM

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS AN ABSOLUTE PRISTINE PAIR OF INNER PANELS.

THE PLAIN WHITE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, NO WRINKLES AND ONLY SOME GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT! MINUS!!

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