- ' THEIR ROCKIN' IN HADES' ETCHED INTO DEAD WAX SIDE 2
I HAVE UNEARTHED A LARGE COLLECTION OF ROCK ALBUMS THAT ARE IN A CONDITION THAT DEFIES BELIEF!!
THEY BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO DID EXACTLY THAT - COLLECT THEM!!!
NEVER PLAYED!!! AND NEVER HANDLED!!!
THEY WERE FOUND INSIDE A LOCKED ROOM WHERE THEY HAVE SAT UNMOLESTED FOR ALL THESE YEARS.
IT IS AS THOUGH THEY WERE BRAND NEW SHOP STOCK, BUT OF COURSE THERE IS ONLY ONE COPY OF EACH RECORD.
SO OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I AM GOING TO BE LISTING THESE NIGHTLY. YOU HAVE JUST THE ONE CHANCE TO SNAP UP SOMETHING UNIQUE IN THE COLLECTING INDUSTRY NAMELY ' A VINTAGE UNPLAYED VINYL!!!
NOW HAVING SAID THAT I WILL BE RUNNING A TEST PLAY ON EACH OF THEM TO RECORD THE VINYL FOR BIDDERS TO LISTEN TO, BECAUSE UNPLAYED DOESN'T ACTUALLY GUARANTEE MINT!!! WHAT I DO GUARANTEE IS THAT MY VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE WHERE THERE IS ONE MINUTE SPIDER LINE VISIBLE, SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES
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
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AT ANY POINT.
NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY THE VERY OCCASIONAL SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN TWO TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS ALBUM MINT MINUS !!!!
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THIS SUPERB DISC FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.
ALL OF THE COLOURS ARE RETAINED AND THERE IS NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER
THERE IS ONE INVISIBLE TINY LINE CLOSE 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 OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR MINT WITH JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE TOP RIGHT , AND THE TWO BOTTOM CORNER TIP ENDS
THE WAFER THIN SPINE IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR THE THE BOTTOM LEADING EDGE, WHERE SOME WHITE FLECKS ARE SHOWING THROUGH THE GLOSSY BLUE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE ALSO LIGHTLY RUBBED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS IMMACULATE NO SMALL LINES ANYWHERE
THE PLAIN WHITE DIE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES BUT NO MARKS TO THE SURFACE
THE ORIGINAL LYRIC SHEET IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION.
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
