BON SCOTT'S FINAL ALBUM!!!

• CATALOGUE:ATLANTIC K50628
• MATRIX: K50628 A-1 / B-1

I HAVE JUST COME ACROSS A COLLECTION OF 70'S VINYL THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO PURCHASED LP'S AND 90% OF THE TIME DIDN'T PLAY THEM AT ALL!!!. A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE COLLECTION WERE STILL IN THE SHOP CARRIER BAGS OR PAPER BAGS (BOOTS / W.H.SMITH ETC). TO SAY THAT THIS COLLECTION IS IN PERFECT CONDITION IS ALMOST AN UNDERSTATEMENT!. THE SLEEVES MATCH THE RECORDS AND ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION. AND MOST HAVE PERFECT CORNERS WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIPS UNRUBBED!!!

I WILL BE RELEASING THESE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS A FEW A DAY. HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET 40 YEAR OLD VINYL IN THE SAME CONDITION AS IT WAS IN THE SHOP!!!

A FIRST PRESS OF THIS ALBUM MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING ATTRIBUTES

• THE UK PRESS HAS THE GREEN AND ORANGE ATLANTIC LABELS
• THE 'W' LOGO MUST BE AT 3 O'CLOCK ON THE LABEL
• MATRIX NUMBERS MUST BE K50628 A-1 / B-1
• THE MATRIX NUMBERS MUST ALSO BE ETCHED AND NOT STAMPED
• 'ARUN' MUST BE ETCHED INTO THE DEAD WAX SIDE TWO
• THE SLEEVE MUST BE MADE BY 'GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE LIMITED'
• THE SLEEVE MUST BE SEMI LAMINATED 

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE TWO ORANGE AND GREEN LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN, AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND EVERY LETTER PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THERE ARE 1-2 NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS,AND IN DAYLIGHT IS IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

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

THE SILENT BITS ARE   SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THIS SUPERB SOUND WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

ABSOLUTELY NO VINYL NOISE AND NO STATIC APART FROM 1-2 OF THE TINIEST SPLIT SECONDS IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

I CAN ALSO SAY THAT I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS WHATSOEVER THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT  !!! IT IS THAT GOOD

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED AND DELICATE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES THE SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE  POWDERY SURFACE.AND MOST I HAVE SEEN HAVE LARGE CREASE LINES AROUND THE SPINE. THIS COPY HOWEVER IS WITHOUT DOUBT UP THERE WITH THE BEST EVER EXAMPLES!!!

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. AND ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND HAVE REMAINED UNRUBBED

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER. THE ONLY MINUSCULE BLEMISH IS THAT THERE IS A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE VERY TOP LEFT CORNER TIP

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE.NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE OR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THIS OFTEN ABUSED SLEEVE,

THE TOP EDGE IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE BROWN SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS HAVE REMAINED UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS  SOME VERY LIGHT EDGE RUB AND A LITTLE ON THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE ITSELF IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. NO COLOUR LOSS AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS ARE IMMACULATE. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION . AGAIN NOT ONE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN FLAT, UNCREASED AND UNSPLIT CONDITION

 I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

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