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 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 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 WHITE LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE. NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND ALL OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECT AND UNRUBBED. THE LOGO'S ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE WHERE THERE IS ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO IT, SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED

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 STREAKS 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, AND ONLY THE VERY OCCASIONAL SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC

I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY MORE THAN THREE 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 EMBOSSED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND IMPORTANTLY  HAS NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. 

THERE ARE NUMEROUS SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE HOWEVER ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE. THERE ARE ALSO A COUPLE OF CIRCULAR LIGHT LINES IN THE TOP HALF OF THE SLEEVE

THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE NEAR MINT WITH JUST ONE PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP, AND A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM CORNERS

THE WAFER THIN SPINE HAS SUFFERED A LITTLE WITH SOME LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS AT VARIOUS PLACES, AND A FEW SMALL LINES ACROSS THE SURFACE WHERE THE LINES NEAR THE SPINE ON THE FRONT SURFACE HAVE CREPT ROUND TO THE SPINE

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

THE REAR SURFACE ONLY HAS A FEW SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE

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

THE ORIGINAL MERCHANDISE SHEET IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, AS IS THE BLUE LYRIC SHEET AND THE POSTER

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