THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FOR THE VERY DAY OF PURCHASE BY PLACING THEM INTO PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES. THEREFORE VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE RECORDS THAT I WILL BE LISTING FROM THIS COLLECTION WILL HAVE MINT, MINT MINUS OR AT THE WORST NEAR MINT SLEEVES!

THE INNER SLEEVES HAVE ALL BEEN KEPT FLAT AND UNWRINKLED AND FURTHER ENHANCE THE COLLECTION.

THE VINYLS ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE, WITH A FEW HAVING NEVER BEEN PLAYED, AND AGAIN THE GRADING'S VARY BETWEEN MINT AND NEAR MINT...NOTHING LOWER.

THE RECORDS WERE PLACED INTO THOSE RECORD BOXES WITH HANDLES ON THEM, ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN KEPT AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT OR SUNLIGHT AND COLD.

FINALLY THERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER TITLES IN THIS COLLECTION, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THIS AMAZING SELECTION OF 197O'S ROCK ALBUMS

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN  MINT CONDITION. PRISTINE BASE COLOUR FREE FROM ANY BLEMISHES. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE IS JUST ONE TINY TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING HOW LITTLE THE VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED.

THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS . EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN  A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME LIGHT DULL SPECKLES IN THE VINYL

A REALLY GLEAMING STUNNING COPY

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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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

 IT HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY IT HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE CLARITY OF THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS IT WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

THERE IS THE  SPECK OF lightly AUDIBLE EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE LINKING GROOVES. NO STATIC BACKGROUND AT ALL

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN TWO  DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS

A STUNNING FIRST PRESS  AND I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS NEAR MINT

TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE THOUGH 

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED FLIPBACK REAR SURFACE, GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

BECAUSE THIS HAS STAYED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM THE DAY OF PURCHASE IT IS IN THE MOST INCREDIBLE CONDITION IMAGINABLE. JUST LIKE YOU HAVE TIME TRAVELLED AND JUST BOUGHT IT

THE FRONT SURFACE IS  BLEMISH FREE!!  IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE. THE LAMINATE IS JUST PERFECT.

THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINE BY THE SPINE .  NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE TINY THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE PERFECTLY SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, WITH ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED LAMINATE PERFECT.

THE SPINE IS IN  MINT CONDITION AS WELL. FIRSTLY ALL OF THE LAMINATE  IS PERFECTLY INTACT,. IT IS  FLAT WITH AND TOTALLY UNSQUASHED, AND FINALLY ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND IT'S ALSO WORTH POINTING OUT THAT THERE IS NO WEAR EITHER TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM TIPS OF THIS SUPERB SPINE

 THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP,AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER

THE REAR SURFACE HAS PERFECTLY ADHERED FLIPBACKS AND THE BLACK UNLAMINATED SURFACE IS JUST SUPERB WITH ONE LIGHT SCRATCH LINE JUST UNDER THE TOP FLIPBACK

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED, AND IS IN MINT CONDITION

THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS !!! WITH EASE

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