Description

I have very sadly decided to sell the remainder of my own record collection over the next few weeks. It is varied in its content from 60/70's Folk/Rock, incl rare Zeppelin and Floyd 1st presses, some Beatles and Dylan,including Japanese presses, various now deleted Audiophile pressings and female vocal. Some records I have owned since new, others I have carefully selected and picked up along the way. I have always tried to collect the best and earliest copies.

I will keep descriptions as simple as possible rather than do elaborate advertisements.

Whilst I have owned the records they have only ever been played on either a Michell Orbe or SME Model 20 turntable, both fitted with SME V tonearms and quality cartridges such as the Lyra Delos. My last phono stage was the Reference Whest PS 30RDT SE coupled to Vitus amplification and Sonus Faber Cremona M speakers. Not only has this been a revealing system, giving me an accurate assessment of all records played on it, but it has, I hope, always looked after the vinyl.

I clean all my records on an Okki Nokki RCM before putting them in new Nagaoka anti-static record sleeves and plastic outer sleeves. They have always been very carefully stored in a smoke free enviroment.

I will grade using the Record Collector system, erring on the side of caution as I have sold the SME. I am also selling the phono stage and cartrige. I am happy to discuss details with any buyers.

Please Note: Postage costs for recorded/signed for in the case of valuable records may be more than those stated and must be agreed and paid for before posting please.

The Heart Is A Lotus

VERY RARE Original ARGO ZDA 135

 

 

Outer sleeve -  Excellent+. Only a couple of very light/short crease on spine stop me grading this NM. Will be very hard to find better.

Labels -  N Mint.

Vinyl visualy - Mint. Even in the brightest light, nothing can be seen.

Vinyl play -  Close to Near Mint. I have not played this for a while but from memory this is absolutely superb and I doubt can be bettered. 

Anyone looking for a copy of this will be very pleased with this one....

I am happy to offer a full refund for any record a buyer feels is not as described, if returned exactly as sent within 10 days.

Please do not leave any negative feedback without contacting me first, if you feel any part of my service is not as you would have wished.

Thank You

GIVEN THE INTEREST IN THIS RECORD I HAVE JUST LISTENED TO IT AT A FRIENDS. SIDE 1 DOES INDEED PLAY FROM START TO FINSH SUPERBLY. THERE IS JUST THE VERY LIGHTEST VINYL SURFACE NOISE AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE RECORD, THATS ALL. EVEN DURING THE QUIETEST PASSAGES, IT IS SO QUIET. IT TRUELY HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED ONLY AN ABSOLUTE MINIMAL NUMBER OF TIMES. FOR MYSELF ONLY THE THREE INCLUDING THIS PLAY. SIDE 2 IS JUST THE SAME THROUGHOUT EXCEPT, AND I DID NOT SPOT THIS AS IT IS SO SMALL, BUT THERE IS A VERY TINY MARK AT THE BEGINNING OF TRACK 2 WHICH CAN BE HEARD WITH 3 "CLICKS OR POPS" HOWEVER YOU WOULD WISH TO DESCRIBE THEM. I DO APOLOGISE FOR NOT HAVING SEEN THIS BUT AS I HAVE SAID IT IS SO SMALL. THAT IS IT FOR THE WHOLE RECORD THOUGH. IT IS AS NEAR MINT AS I THINK YOU CAN GET ASIDE FROM THIS.
