MIKE OLDFIELD Boxed UK Virgin 4LPs Ambient Rock Quadraphonic Quad SQ

From my PERSONAL Collection - bought used - and just played on my new Denon turntable.
Yeah - I was big into Quad in the day - had the top of the line JVC Quad receiver, four Advents and two turntables - one just for quad - and a quad reel-to-reel tape deck.
I rate/price LPs on sound mostly - then cover, inserts, LP sleeve, etc. I care about the sound the most.
I'm listing my entire LP Collection, about 100 left (including Quad), as I record them. Look out for new listings.
Some very rare ones indeed!

Vinyl: Side #1 - VG, #2 - VG, #3 - EX, #4 - EX, #5 - G, #6 - VG, #7 - EX, #8 - EX Cover: G - Box is no longer connected - see photos. LP Sleeve: Original LP sleeves - EX. Notes on sound below:
Side #1: A bit of surface noise during the first minute or two, but it calms down rapidly. A pop or two here and there, but mostly in very quiet parts.  Side #2: Quieter than side #1, but still a few clicks/pops here and there. Side #3: Very little surface noise throughout. A pop or two here and there, but mostly in very quiet parts. Side #4: Quieter than side #3, but a few clicks/pops here and there. Noticeable pop or two 15 minutes in. Side #5: A bit of surface noise throughout specially in the first 2-3 minutes. A pop or two here and there as well, but mostly in very quiet parts. This side could use some pop/click sw, or a better cleaning than I can do - vinyl looks okay though - one issue I can't fix - about 1/2 way in - looks like a manufacturing error - causes 3-4 pops (once a revolution). Right after that, the LP gets real quiet. Side #6: A bit quieter than Side #5, but still a few clicks/pops here and there. Side #7: Very little, if any, surface noise throughout. Side #8: Same as side #7. You may here a pop/click here and there, but nothing to detract from the music.....

LPs have been cleaned, play tested, sleeved. I pack carefully and ship in a new or used, but in good shape, LP mailer.

These results are on my equipment. You may or may not hear the same.

I deal on multiple LPs - contact me.
