DAVID BOWIE - STATION TO STATION

INCREDIBLE UNPLAYED MINT PLAYTHROUGH!!!

OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS!!! SLEEVE

HAS TWO INSERT SHEETS

      CATALOGUE:RCA RCALP 3013

• MATRIX: APL1 1327 A-1U (CROSSED OUT) RCALP3013 A-1U / B-1U

I HAVE ACQUIRED A COLLECTION OF STUNNING VINYLS THAT BELONGED TO TWO RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVES. THESE ARE EITHER UNPLAYED OR PLAYED JUST ONCE OR TWICE. THE SLEEVES IN MOST CASES ARE AS PERFECT AS YOU COULD WISH TO SEE.THE RECORDS ARE MINT OR VERY CLOSE TO

I WILL BE LISTING THESE OVER THE COMING DAYS

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT MINT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER  TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO!!! SPIDERS LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE. A TRULY MINT EXAMPLE

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. I AM CONVINCED THAT ANY POTENTIAL BIDDER WOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED ALBUM BECAUSE AN UNPLAYED DISC DOESN'T GUARANTEE A MINT PERFORMANCE. I DO GUARANTEE THAT MY ONE CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED THOUGH

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 ALBUM SOUNDS. IN PARTICULAR THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

I HEARD NO STATIC WHATSOEVER, EVEN THE LINKING GROOVES ARE CLEAR AND CLEAN

I HEARD ONE DUST POP THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION

BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF AGAINST THE STANDARDS YOU PERSONALLY SET

A HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE THAT PLAYS TO AN INCREDIBLE MINT STANDARD.

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED GARRODPRINT SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE FLAT AND VERY CLEAN AND HAS NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES WHATSOEVER. THE COLOUR IS PERFECTLY RETAINED AND THERE IS NO RUBBING TO ANY PART OF THE SURFACE.

THERE  ARE JUST FIVE MINUSCULE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE , NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR RUNNING PERFECTLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNRUBBED AND SQUARE. THERE IS ONE TINY NICK TO THE SURFACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED, WITH PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE BLACK TYPEFACE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE ALSO UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME OUTSTANDING CONDITION THAT THE FRONT IS IN

THE LARGE INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION

THE SMALL ADVERTISING INSERT IS ALSO MINT

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE MINT MINUS

IF YOU WIN AN LP AUCTION OF MINE THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL GET IN TERMS OF PACKING AND DELIVERY.

I TREAT EVERY ALBUM WITH THE RESPECT IT DESERVES. THE FIRST THING IS THAT I REMOVE THE LP FROM THE SLEEVE AND PLACE IT INTO A BRAND NEW POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE TO PROTECT NOT ONLY THE LP BUT THE SLEEVE AS WELL. THE LP IS PLACED BEHIND THE SLEEVE AND THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE LOCATED BACK INSIDE THE SLEEVE.

THE ALBUM IS PLACED INSIDE A BRAND NEW THICK PVC OUTER SLEEVE. NOT SOME FLIMSY POLY THING, A PROPER COLLECTORS PVC SLEEVE.

I USE THE TOUGHEST CRUCIFORM BOXES TO PLACE THE LP INTO AND INCLUDE ONE VERY HEAVY DUTY STIFFENER INSIDE THE BOX AS WELL. THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOX WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL STIFFENERS PLACED ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK SURFACES OR AS MANY AS NEEDED TO ENSURE THE CORNERS CANNOT GET DAMAGED OR THE BOX BENT.

FINALLY THE LP IS SENT EITHER SIGNED FOR, TRACKED AND SIGNED FOR DEPENDING ON WHICH SERVICE IS AVAILABLE FOR EACH COUNTRY.

FINALLY THE TRACKING NUMBER IS UPDATED ON EBAY UPON MY RETURN FROM THE POST OFFICE

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