I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO HANDLED BOTH VINYL AND SLEEVE METICULOUSLY. INCREDIBLE ALBUMS THAT I WILL BE LISTING OVER THE COMING WEEKS. THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT VINTAGE VINYL IN THE SORT OF CONDITION THAT YOU COULD ONLY DREAM ABOUT..LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE LP BEFORE LAYING A BID, AS I HAVE RECORDED EVERY SINGLE SECOND

MY LONG STANDING SERIOUS COLLECTOR CUSTOMERS WILL APPRECIATE THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PRISTINE MUSEUM GRADE  ALBUM. NEW CUSTOMERS AS WELL, IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTO COLLECTING THEN THIS MUST NOT BE PASSED UP

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE RED AND PLUM  LABELS ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. SIDE TWO HAS A FEW WHITE FLECKS ON THE OUTER RIM OF THE LABEL. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE  TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.

THERE ARE 5-6 SPIDER LINES  ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW. AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE, PLUS ONE NON SOUNDING ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINE ON SIDE ONE

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS 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

THE CLARITY OF THIS FIRST PRESS IS THERE FOR ALL TO HEAR. A VERY SUPERB MONO REPRODUCTION THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BRILLIANT AND THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND,

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAYTHROUGH, AND NO MORE THAN A FEW SMALL AREAS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC, MAINLY ON SIDE ONE

I HEARD NO DUST POPS JUST A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT. UNLAMINATED REAR E.J.DAY SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND FREE FROM ANY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE LAMINATE OTHER THAN A VERY LIGHT SHADOW OF AGEING ALONGSIDE THE SPINE WHERE THE COLOUR HAS BROWNED VERY LIGHTLY

THERE ARE NO LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE.  SIX TINY ONES ALONG THE TOP EDGE TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE ONE ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER. THE RIGHT CORNER HAS VERY LIGHT RUB. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS PERFECT.

THE WAFER THIN UNLAMINATED SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED.  THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WEAR TO THE TIP ENDS. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW, AND SHOWS WHY THIS VINYL JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE  HAS STILL RETAINED THE WHITE ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH JUST A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF NATURAL AGEING AROUND THE EDGES. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED

THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT BUT DOES SHOW AGEING TO THE EDGES

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

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