Description
General background -
This is one from my personal collection. I started buying records back in the '60s, probably bought most of my stuff in the late '60s and '70s. I carried on buying vinyl through into the '90s, but by that point it was more out of habit than desire - I always though of myself as "a vinyl guy" and although I was buying CDs by then, I grabbed any vinyl albums by artists I liked or was interested in. In a lot of these later cases they mostly never even got played. By that point I wasn't actually using my record deck/hi-fi much - if I bothered to play anything it tended to be via the PC and its own attached mini-system. When I moved house around 2001 my hi-fi system got ignored and has only very recently come back in to use.
But when I did buy albums, I always took great care of them. I have plenty of albums that I bought over 50 years ago that could pass for new - unmarked and perfectly clean players. I've always handled, played, and stored my records carefully. Typically they've been stored properly in thick protective sleeves in purpose built cabinets, and I've always used good quality systems to play them on - in the past things like Pioneer or AR decks, and since the '80s a Roksan Xerxes/RB/OC9 combination.
After dragging my vinyl around for some 50-60 years, I've decided to finally retire most of it. I shall keep some old favourites, but other than that it will go. Apart from anything else, tastes change and I don't feel inclined to give the dedicated listening time that I feel vinyl deserves to a lot of the stuff I have now (I also find kneeling down and trying to read album spines too much like hard work these days <grin>)
This record -
This is another one bought and stored unplayed. I had the CD anyway, and like most of my '90s vinyl it was bought out of habit. I still liked the idea of vinyl even if I rarely used it. This audiophile edition came in a variety of lable variants (black/white/typed/handwritten/numbered) and this is the white, hand-written, numbered variant. I did play it through before listing to check it out (and digitise it) and it is as perfect as you would expect. The original thick black glossy inner sleeve is present and unmarked, but the record was always stored in a Goldring anti-static liner from new.
The outer sleeve/cover is complete and unmarked. This copy is numbered 2454, but I've no idea what the total print run was for this release. The CD size glossy booklet is loose inside the cover, and is also as new.
You won't get a better copy of this album.
