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 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY I CAN'T EVEN SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH PROVES HOW CAREFULLY THE LP WAS HANDLED. THERE ARE ALSO SHARDS OF VINYL AROUND THE HOLE ON SIDE TWO

THE VINYL

THE  VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IN DAYLIGHT IS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW WISPY NON SOUNDING SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES

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. IT HAS OFTEN BEEN SAID THAT BUYING FROM EBAY IS HIGH RISK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF SELLERS WHO MISDESCRIBE RECORD CONDITION. A VERY VALID POINT AS WELL. BUT HERE YOU ARE ABLE TO NOT ONLY READ ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE LP'S THAT I OFFER FOR SALE, BUT TO ACTUALLY HERE THE COMPLETE DISC IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.

THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY. NO GROOVE WEAR AND THUS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY, AND THERE ARE NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

THERE IS THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND, WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 MINUSCULE DUST POPS OR TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE DO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

1ST ISSUE GOTHIC PRINT FINISHERS UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THIS FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE ON THE MAIN BODY AND DELICATE COLOURS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED OR SHELFWORN. NO RINGWEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND PERFECTLY SQUARE

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

THE GREY SURFACE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES IS AMAZINGLY IN MINT CONDITION. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW AND HAS THEREFORE PROTECTED THIS VERY DELICATE SURFACE FROM ANY RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR. EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED.

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED . THE COLOUR IS ALL THERE .. THE TIPS ARE UNRUBBED AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS ABSOLUTELY RAZOR SHARP AND GIVES MORE EVIDENCE TO THE FACT THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT, JUST ONE TINY LINE AGAINST THE SPINE NEAR THE BOTTOM

THE HEAVY CARD INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. UNSPLIT AND UNCREASED

I AM HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT !!!!
