Description
I have come across a collection of records that defy time.
They belonged to a collector who was buying in the mid to late 60's through the 70's and 80's
However his family have said that he didn't own a record player until the mid 80's.
Very strange I know, but what it means is that the early records have in most cases never been played or at the most one play.
Naturally people's tastes in music change and that's why the 80's albums have had more play than the 60's
There are some incredible records in this collection
I aim to release one per day and will list them at 8pm UK time so that they don't get confused with my other listings
I will also be test playing each record prior to listing . My very very careful test play will go undetected however

THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PINK RIM LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED.
THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS 1-2 BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND IT SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS RECEIVED VERY LITTLE TURNTABLE TIME
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS.
EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE.
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH PERFECTLY ON BOTH SIDES
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 THE ONLY LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND YOU WILL HEAR WILL BE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE FOR THIS ALBUM NEAR MINT
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS IMMACULATELY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS.
THE LAMINATE IS PERFECT. NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE , ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGES ARE NEAR PRISTINE WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER.
THERE IS ONE SMALL CHIP ON THE REAR EDGE ON THE LEFT HALF
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE PRISTINE. NO TIP END RUB
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY FREE FROM SQUASHING. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT WITH JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PRISTINE LAMINATED INNER PANELS. THE SMALL CHIP ON THE TOP EDGE IS VISIBLE ON THE RIGHT PANEL
