- CATALOGUE:GH 501

I HAVE JUST COME ACROSS A COLLECTION OF 70'S VINYL THAT BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO PURCHASED LP'S AND 90% OF THE TIME DIDN'T PLAY THEM AT ALL!!!. A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THE COLLECTION WERE STILL IN THE SHOP CARRIER BAGS OR PAPER BAGS (BOOTS / W.H.SMITH ETC). TO SAY THAT THIS COLLECTION IS IN PERFECT CONDITION IS ALMOST AN UNDERSTATEMENT!. THE SLEEVES MATCH THE RECORDS AND ARE ALSO IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION. AND MOST HAVE PERFECT CORNERS WITH EVEN THE CORNER TIPS UNRUBBED!!!
I WILL BE RELEASING THESE OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS A FEW A DAY. HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET 40 YEAR OLD VINYL IN THE SAME CONDITION AS IT WAS IN THE SHOP!!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW GOLDEN HOUR LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO!!!! SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE ON THIS 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 LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
I DECIDED TO PLAY THIS PREVIOUSLY UNPLAYED DISC, AS UNPLAYED DOESN'T GUARANTEE A MINT PLAYTHROUGH. I DO GUARANTEE THAT MY CAREFUL TEST PLAY WILL GO UNDETECTED
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, NOR ANY LOUD CLICKS
THERE IS A LITTLE EMBEDDED STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THREE OF THE TRACKS ON SIDE TWO (NOT UNUSUAL WITH AN LP THAT HAS THE GROOVES SO TIGHTLY COPRESSED TOGETHER) TRACK ONE AND THE SECOND LAST AND THIRD LAST TRACKS
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN 1-2 TINY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS!!!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THIS NON LAMINATED TEXTURED AND EMBOSSED FRAGILE 1ST PRESS GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO THE COLOUR AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, OR BENDS . THE COLOURS ARE MAGNIFICENT AND THE EMBOSSED AREAS ARE PERFECT. THE TEXTURED FINISH IS ALSO IMMACULATE. THE ORIGINAL SHOP PRICE IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE SLEEVE, BUT CAN VERY EASILY BE REMOVED IF DESIRED WITHOUT DAMAGE TO THE COVER.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO!! LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE
THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH IMMACULATE WITH ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED ORANGE SURFACE INTACT.PERFECT SHARP AND SQUARE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS 100% FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, NO LOSS OF COLOUR WHATSOEVER, AND THIS EVEN INCLUDED THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS WHICH ARE IMMACULATE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY LIGHTLY BURRED IN A COUPLE OF PLACES
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, PERFECT ORANGE SURFACE, AND LIKE THE FRONT THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL, AND NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE.
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION . NO STAINS OR CREASES. IN MINT CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
