THIS LP HAS COME FROM AN INCREDIBLE RECORD COLLECTION, WHERE THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD PROTECTED THE ALBUMS FROM 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 6 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON ANY SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLES ARE UNWORN. . THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLES

THE VINYL

EXAMINING EACH DISC IN TURN THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THEY GLEAM LIKE BRAND NEW VINYLS. EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN ONE OR TWO TINY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN ON A COUPLE OF SIDES

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 3 ALBUMS AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WANT TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID, IF THEY HAD THE CHOICE. I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THIS SERVICE TO MY CUSTOMERS 

ALL THREE ALBUMS PLAY TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE GRADE. THEY ARE  FLAWLESS

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE ONE CAREFUL PLAY THIS SET HAS RECEIVED (2 NOW WITH MY TEST PLAY) WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

ALL THREE DISCS PLAY WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. NOT ONE JOT ANYWHERE

NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL AT ANY POINT DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

A 44 YEAR OLD SET THAT HAS AT MOST A REW RANDOM SECONDS OF THE LIGHTEST AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING SEGMENTS, AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES, CERTAINLY NO MORE THAN THE ODD SEMI SECOND OF VINYL NOISE THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB. TAKE A LISTEN TO THE OPENING TRACK ON SIDE 5 TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN

I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE OR TWO MINUSCULE DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I CANNOT GIVE ANY OTHER GRADE THAN MINT !!!. MINT MINUS AT THE WORST 

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF, DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT

THE SLEEVE

WELL A BOX, NOT A SLEEVE. HOW HARD IS THIS TO FIND IS COLLECTIBLE CONDITION? NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. FIRSTLY YOU HAVE MOST OF THESE BOXES WITH TORN CORNERS AND SECONDLY THE POROUS SURFACE IS USUALLY VERY BADLY SOILED.

THIS BOX IS  MINT, IT'S CONTENTS ARE 100% MINT

THIS SET IS AS GOOD AS ANYTHING OUT THERE I BELIEVE

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THIS USUALLY COMES MOTTLED , GRUBBY, STAINED, HAS STICKER REMOVAL MARKS ON IT, AND GENERALLY LOOKS SHABBY. HERE WE HAVE A PRISTINE EXAMPLE.

THE GREY SURFACE IS IN SUPREME CONDITION. NOT ONE FINGERMARK, NOT ONE STAIN.

IT'S  PERFECT WITH THE VARIOUS SHADES OF GREY AND BLACK RICH AND VIBRANT. NO NICKS TO THE BORDERS OF THE PASTE ON IMAGE

ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE,MOST IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE NOT SPLIT. THERE IS NOT ONE SCUFF TO ANY OF THEM THEY ARE ALL JET BLACK

THE SPINES AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO UNMARKED.THE EDGES ARE FINISHED IN A JET BLACK MATT BUT TEXTURED FINISH WHICH IS OFTEN FOUND SHELFWORN, BUT HERE THE BLACK IS STILL PERFECTLY BLACK AND UNRUBBED. THE LEFT SPINE WITH THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, WITH THE GOLD LEAF  JUST IMMACULATE AND EVERY LETTER UNRUBBED.

THE BASE OF THE BOX IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, AND THIS IS USUALLY SCRATCHED AND RUBBED, BUT NOT ON THIS SET. IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT IN THE BEST CONDITION I HAVE EVER SEEN ONE OF THESE

AND IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS BOX HAS BEEN PROTECTED ALMOST FROM NEW IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE, TO BE IN THIS INCREDIBLE CONDITION

OPENING THE BOX AND LOOKING INSIDE AT THE PANELS UNDER THE LID, AGAIN THE STORY IS THE SAME. THE ORANGE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE HAS BEEN NO BLEMISH TO ANY PART OF IT, WITH ONE SMALL BLACK SMUDGE TO THE RIGHT OF THE TRACK LISTING NEAR THE BOTTOM. ALL THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECT. THE WEBBING THAT MAKES THE SPINE HINGE IS PERFECT, AND ALL OF THE INTERNAL CORNERS ARE PRISTINE

THE CARD BOX FILLER PROTECTS A PLAIN GREY BARE CARD MATT FINISH TO THE BASE OF THE BOX

INSIDE THE BOX THE THREE ALBUMS ORIGINALLY CAME HOUSED INSIDE THREE VERY VULNERABLE ROUGH TEXTURED INNER SLEEVES THAT IN MOST CASES HAVE SPLIT ALONG THE SEAMS. ON THIS COPY HOWEVER ALL THREE INNERS ARE IN UNSPLIT CONDITION.AND ARE TOTALLY UNCREASED, THESE INNERS ARE JUST PRISTINE. 100% FLAT AND UNCREASED AND NOT EVEN A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE.  THE VINYLS WERE REMOVED AND STORED SEPARATELY FROM THE DAY OF PURCHASE

THE HUGE POSTER WHICH IS OFTEN MISSING FROM THIS SET IS IN MINT CONDITION. EVERY FOLD LINE IS RAZOR SHARP AND IT IS OBVIOUS WHEN LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN PLACED ON ANY WALL, WELL NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE BOX EITHER. I HAVE CAREFULLY CHECKED IT, AND IT IS THE FIRST ISSUE MADE IN GT BRITAIN AND NOT THE AMERICAN POSTER

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS BOX MINT  WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT

THE CONTENTS EXCLUDING THE VINYLS ARE MINT!!!

A MUSEUM GRADE VINYL AND BOX!!!!!

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