I HAVE COME ACROSS A LARGE COLLECTION OF VINYL ALBUMS THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO TOOK CARE OF HIS ALBUMS IN A MOST MAGNIFICENT WAY. VIRTUALLY EVERY ALBUM IN THIS COLLECTION WAS REMOVED FROM THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE AND PLACED INTO A HIGH GRADE ANTI-STATIC INNER. THIS HAS MEANT THAT THE ALBUMS HAVE NOT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPLIT THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE FOR ONE, AND SECONDLY HAVE REMAINED IN THE MOST PRISTINE CONDITION. THE COLLECTOR ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE NEVER PLACED A FINGER ON THE VINYL AND ALWAYS HELD THEM BY THE EDGES. THEY WERE ALL PLAYED ON A LINN TURNTABLE
HERE THEN IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB A 30 YEARS OLD PLUS ALBUM IN 'AS NEW' CONDITION. EVERY RECORD THAT I LIST FROM THIS LOT WILL BE RECORDED ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES AND AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO HEAR FROM THE LINK AT THE TOP OF THE AUCTION PAGE.
PLEASE NOTE I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO HEAR THE SOUNDS ON A SMARTPHONE OR TABLET, SO PLEASE USE A PC TO HEAR THE AUDIO!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. ALL COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT WITH AN UNRUBBED RED LOGO AND SILVER TYPEFACE.
THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN AND THERE ARE JUST TWO MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE .
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. GLEAMING LIKE NEW IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW 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 BELIEVE THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE CONSIDERING BIDDING ON, AND THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.
AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AUDIO REPRODUCTION FROM BEGINNING TO END, AND A STEREO RECORDING THAT HAS TO BE HEARD. THERE ARE MANY OUTSTANDING PASSAGES OF MUSIC ON THIS ALBUM AND NONE OF THEM ARE DISTURBED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES. NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT, MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED SINCE NEW WERE CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED.
THE RUN IN GROOVE IS SILENT AS ARE THE LINKING GROOVES
THE MUSIC PLAYS WITHOUT ONE IOTA OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE NO CLICKS AND VIRTUALLY NO STATIC APART FROM THE ODD SEMI SECOND OR TWO.
I CANT SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY LITTLE DUST POPS EITHER
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL GRADES MINT MINUS !!!!!!
TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VIRTUALLY PRISTINE HAVING, A VERY SHINY SURFACE NO CREASES, CREASE LINES FOLDS OR BENDS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR THROUGH ANY RUBBING OR WEAR..
THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE EITHER.
THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY BIT OF RUB
THE TOP EDGE HAS A LITTLE LIGHT SHELF RUB TO THE FRONT LEADING EDGE SHOWING SOME TINY WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE SURFACE AND A DAB OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS.
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS ALL OF THE BLACK RUNNING ACROSS THE SURFACE WITH A SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE AGAIN IS FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. THE BLACK COLOUR RUNS NICELY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS VISIBLE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM LEADING EDGES, AND A SPECK ON THE TOP TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND SHOWS CLEARLY THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY EVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.
THE HEAVY PAPER LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT, UNCREASED CONDITION
THE VRP ANTI STATIC INNER SLEEVE THE ORIGINAL OWNER CHOSE TO PROTECT THE VINYL WITH IS IN AS NEW CONDITION
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT!!!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
