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!!!

PLAYED ONCE AND RECORDED TO TAPE, THEN FILED AWAY

 THEY HAVE SAT 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 / ONE PLAY 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 BLUE AND WHITE LABELS  ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, THE COLOURS ARE UNBLEMISHED AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO CLEAR AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. A CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE SPINDLE HOLE REVEALS THAT THERE IS ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES,

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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE 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

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB. THE CRYSTAL CLEAR INSTRUMENTATION AND VOCALS ARE CLEAR AS A BELL

THERE IS CERTAINLY NO GROOVE WEAR TO THIS RARE RECORDING WHICH WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SOME DISTORTION TO THE SOUND. THERE IS NONE. ISLAND/CHRYSALIS  RECORDINGS HAVE LONG BEEN LAMBASTED FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF VINYL USED IN THEIR  LP'S WHICH HAVE OFTEN RESULTED IN UNWANTED VINYL NOISE EVEN WHERE THERE ARE NO MARKS.

HERE HOWEVER THE VINYL PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC HERE AND THERE 

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST FANTASTIC, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD TO PERFECTION.

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS

NO POPS OR TICS EITHER

I AM HAPPY TO  GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT !!! 

PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

ALSO NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP EDGE IS IMMACULATE. FULLY COLOURED IN GOLD ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. NO RUBBING EVEN TO THE TIP ENDS.

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS ALMOST AS PERFECT WITH ONE TINY WHITE SPECK NEAR THE BLUE LINE, AND THE RIGHT TIP END HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT , AND UNSQUASHED, ALL OF THE  WHITE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE BOTTOM TIP HAS A DOT OF WHITE THERE AND THERE IS ONE MORE ON THE LEADING EDGE

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND UNBLEMISHED AND SHOWS WHY THIS LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT . TOTALLY PRISTINE AND UNBLEMISHED,AND NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES OF ANY DESCRIPTION ANYWHERE

THE HEAVY PAPER LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN  PRISTINE CONDITION, HAVING HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, IT SHOWS NO AGEING, CREASING, OR SPLITS WHATSOEVER
