TIME VAULT QUALITY!!!!

• CATALOGUE:CARRERE CAL 120 
• MATRIX: CAL120 A1 / B1

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 THAT HAVE SAY 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 MAGENTA COLOURED LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS NO SPIDER LINES AROUND IT WHATSOEVER, AND AS I TRIED TO PLACE THE LP ONTO MY TURNTABLE I COULD FEEL AND HEAR RESIDUAL SHARDS OF VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE HOLE WAS ALSO EXTREMELY TIGHT OVER THE SPINDLE

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 SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES. THE VINYL HAS THAT FEEL ABOUT IT WHEN REMOVING IT FROM THE INNER SLEEVE THAT YOU ONLY GET WITH AN UNPLAYED DISC

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, JUST A LITTLE LIGHT STATIC BETWEEN THE LINKING GROOVES OF TRACKS ONE AND TWO ON SIDE TWO

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 GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY WHITE AND CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. IT HAS BEEN STORED UPRIGHT IN A LOCKED ROOM FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE AND BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED HAS HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO GET MARKED. THERE IS ONE TINY LITTLE CHIP TO THE WHITE SURFACE JUST BELOW THE LETTER 'X'

INCREDIBLY THERE ARE ZERO LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE REAL PROOF LIES IN THE EVIDENCE ALONG THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WHERE THE COLOUR REMAINS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. NOT ONE SPECK OF RUBBING EVEN TO THE TIP ENDS.

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE WHITE BASE COLOUR IS UNBLEMISHED WITH EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS UNDAMAGED.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE HAS JUST A FEW SPECKLES OF GREYING ALONG THE TOP EDGE ONLY

THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, A FEW LIGHT WRINKLES BUT NO MARKS TO THE IMMACULATE  SURFACE

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
