Description
TIME TO LIST SOME MORE OF MY VINYL RECORDS AS I'M UNFORTUNATELY RUNNING OUT OF SPACE IN THE HOUSE.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING VINYL RECORDS SINCE 1970 AND HAVE OVER 3,000 LP'S AND SINGLES. ALL HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY PLAYED ON A HIGH END SYSTEM, MOST HAVE BEEN STORED IN PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES IN RECORD BOXES/MDF ICUBES AWAY FROM ANY HEAT AND IN A SMOKE FREE HOUSE. (NOT IN THE LOFT)
EVERY NOW AND THEN I LIST SOME RECORDS WHICH I HAVE DUPLICATES OF OR RARELY PLAY TO FUND MY BUYING OF OTHER RECORDS.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I FULLY PLAY GRADE ALL MY LISTINGS THROUGH HEADPHONES AND GIVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE VINYL, COVER AND PLAYBACK USING THE RECORD COLLECTORS GUIDE 2014. I NEVER USE MINT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR ON A SEALED BRAND NEW RECORD.
PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE, I HAVE BEEN BUYING AND SELLING RECORDS ON EBAY SINCE 2006 AND HAVE 100% FEEDBACK.
IF BY ANY CHANCE YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH MY SERVICE PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUE AS I DO OFFER A FULL REFUND ONCE THE RECORD IS RETURNED TO ME SAFELY IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY.

LABELS : I CAN SEE SOME OBVIOUS SPINDLE MARKS ON THE LABELS. PLAYED A FEW TIMES. EXCELLENT CONDITION.
THICK VINYL VISUAL : WITH A LOVELY SHEEN, THERE ARE JUST A FEW VERY TINY LIGHT NON FEELABLE SURFACE MARKS AND SLEEVE REMOVALS VISIBLE UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT, ONE TINY MARK WHICH GAVE 3 LIGHT CLICKS AT THE END OF 'PLANET QUEEN ON SIDE 2. PLAYED A FEW TIMES IN TOTAL THEN STORED. VISUALLY EXCELLENT CONDITION.
FIRST PRESSING THICK VINYL PLAYBACK : THIS PLAYS THROUGH ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY WITH A LOUD CUT BASSY SOUND. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO CRACKLE AT ALL, JUST A VERY TINY AMOUNT BETWEEN TRACKS HERE AND THERE. JUST THOSE 3 LIGHT CLICKS AT THE END OF 'PLANET QUEEN' ON SIDE 2 FROM A TINY LITTLE MARK AS MENTIONED. THE WHOLE ALBUM HAS THE DYNAMIC MUSIC CRISP AND RIGHT TO THE FORE. THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE AT ALL THAT DETRACTS FROM A GREAT SOUNDING ALBUM. NO SKIPS, CLICKS OR JUMPS. THIS SOUNDS FANTASTIC THROUGH HEADPHONES. MAMBO SUN, JEEPSTER, GET IT ON, PLANET QUEEN, RIP OFF... SUCH BRILLIANT TRACKS, MARC AT HIS BEST.
THEREFORE OVERALL IN EXCELLENT TOP AUDIO CONDITION, A SUPERB AUDIO COPY. WOULD BE A NEAR MINT AUDIO GRADING BUT FOR THOSE 3 LIGHT CLICKS.

(SEE PICS). THE OPENING EDGE HAS HARDLY ANY FEATHERING.
OVERALL IN JUST GOOD CONDITION, THESE SLEEVES WERE ABUSED BACK IN THE DAY. A DECENT SLEEVE.
PLEASE SEE THE NUMEROUS PICTURES.
