I HAVE JUST COME ACROSS A COLLECTION OF 70'S VINYL THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO PURCHASED LP'S AND 90% OF THE TIME DIDN'T PLAY THEM AT ALL!!!. A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE COLLECTION WERE STILL IN THE SHOP CARRIER BAGS OR PAPER BAGS (BOOTS / W.H.SMITH ETC). TO SAY THAT THIS COLLECTION IS IN PERFECT CONDITION IS ALMOST AN UNDERSTATEMENT!. THE SLEEVES MATCH THE RECORDS AND ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION. AND MOST HAVE PERFECT CORNERS WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIPS UNRUBBED!!!
I WILL BE RELEASING THESE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS A FEW A DAY. HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET 40 YEAR OLD VINYL IN THE SAME CONDITION AS IT WAS IN THE SHOP!!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO MORE THAN ONE TINY SPIDER LINE AROUND THE HOLE WHATSOEVER.
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IT IS UNMARKED APART FROM ONE TOTALLY NON SOUNDING FINE HANDLING LINE ON TRACK ONE SIDE ONE, AND EVEN 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 AS I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
THIS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS TRULY MAGNIFICENT , BOTH LOUD AND CRISP, IT PERFORMS WITHOUT A JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC SPECKS IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES
THERE ARE ZERO DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT !!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
I HAVE SEEN MANY COPIES OF THIS ALBUM OVER THE YEARS. INDEED IT IS MY FAVOURITE GALLAGHER ALBUM, BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT THIS SLEEVE WILL NEVER EVER BE BETTERED.
I HONESTLY CANNOT BELIEVE JUST HOW IMMACULATE THIS SLEEVE IS, AS IT IS MADE FROM THIN POROUS TEXTURED CARD, AND EVERY COPY I HAVE SEE HAS HAD ONE OR A COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS
- TEARS
- PAPER SCUFFS
- SERIOUS STAINS
- FRAYED EDGES
- RING WEAR
- SPLIT SEAMS
- TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WORN THROUGH
- OPENING EDGE FRAYED AND SPLIT
- CREASES
THIS IS JUST AS GOOD AS IT GETS, AND IT HAS TO HAVE BEEN KEPT INSIDE PLASTIC FROM NEW TO BE THIS MAGNIFICENT
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS, STAINS, CREASES, CREASE LINES, DENTS, DINGS OR RUBBING. NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE PAPER OR TEXTURED SURFACE. . THE FOUR CORNERS ARE TOTALLY SQUARE AND SHARP
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER. AGAIN THIS IS AN AREA WHERE MOST COPIES ARE BADLY RUBBED. THIS ONE HAS ALL OF THE FAWN COLOUR FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER WITH JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE VERY TIP OF THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
THE SPINE IS AN INCREDIBLE 'FLAT SHAPE' AGAIN NORMALLY FOUND CRUSHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAVE JUST NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS INCREDIBLE AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN THE SAME SUPERB STATE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!!!!!
AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING COPY OF THIS GREAT ALBUM, AND WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
