IN MAGNIFICENT UNPLAYED MINT MINUS!!! CONDITION
COMPLETE WITH MINT MINUS!!!! SLEEVE
TIME VAULT QUALITY!!!!

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 BLACK AND SILVER LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAS NO SPIDER LINES AROUND IT WHATSOEVER,
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. AND A FEW DULL SPECKLES EMBEDDED IN THE VINYL
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 AT THE START OF EACH SIDE LASTING FOR A FEW SECONDS
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
UNLAMINATED (SILVER EMBOSSED) SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO LARGE CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO LOSS OF THE VERY DELICATE BLACK COLOUR EITHER THROUGH SHELF WEAR.THIS IS REALLY RARE TO FIND THIS SLEEVE UNRUBBED. THE EMBOSSED SILVER DESIGN AND TYPEFACE IS ALL ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. AGAIN NO LOSS OF COLOUR AT ALL!!!
THERE ARE TWO MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, 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 ANYWHERE APART FROM A PIN PRICK OF WHITE ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END.
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE BLACK 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 IS IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT
THE CARD LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT ISSUE FOR THIS ALBUM AND IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. NO SPLITS, NO CREASES, AND NO MARKS OR STAINS, JUST A LIGHT CREASE LINE ACROSS ONE CORNER
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
