"We can’t guarantee each record will be perfect, but we will get it as good as it can be when it is sent. These records can be up to 50 years old with unknown storage and handling but you can be assured that we can do wonders in saving old vinyl so that it can be enjoyed not endured!"
PLEASE NOTE: Records are visually inspected and then played in order to come up with a meaningful evaluation. Every mark, mar, imperfection, scratch and countless other potential anomalies are not considered individually and certainly not singled out unless they are heard in the play process, but rather lumped together in things such as “occasional light paper scratches” for example. If I can’t hear it on the playback, I obviously won’t comment on it. I use a Music Hall 9.1, a Music Hall 5.1 or an AR “The Turntable” with either a Goldring Eroica MC, or Goldring 2200 MM or a Denon A100 MC cartridge depending on the turntable. So please do not assume, as occasionally I get comments, that I should have noted something in the listing when you might hear and I don’. I think the feedback speaks for itself and after selling close to 6,000 records since 1999, I will do my best to deliver to you the best product I can. I can’t guarantee that with your cartridge, turntable and set-up you won’t hear something I don’t but I can guarantee that I won’t send anything that is intentionally below my high standards.
Pretty Things – Emotions (Fontana, originally issued in 1967, Dutch HQ pressing re-issue)
I bought this in Berlin in 1985 at a little store near the Gedaechtnis Kirsche, the ruin of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church with the clock in the tower stopped at the time of the bombing in 1943. It is just like I bought it; a shiny cover with very slight scuffing around the perimeter of the record since it is very thin cardboard. The vinyl is immaculate with at most a half-dozen plays in 26 years and very shiny with no issues and it has exceptional sound from the HQ pressing; clean, punchy and super low end.
I get asked often why records like this I charge so much. It is because I can verify the lineage, the condition and care/storage. I bought it new, it has hardly been played, cleaned and stored in VRP sleeves upright with little side pressure and stored in a controlled environment and played ONLY on my audiophile equipment. There are very few out there that one is going to find in this condition. This is a record from my personal collection that if I get my price I will sell it but if not I will keep it and eventually I will find someone who will value it more than I do!
