TIME TO LIST SOME MORE OF MY VINYL RECORDS AS I'M UNFORTUNATELY RUNNING OUT OF SPACE IN THE HOUSE.
I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING VINYL RECORDS SINCE 1970 AND HAVE OVER 3,000 LP'S AND SINGLES. ALL HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY PLAYED ON A HIGH SYSTEM, MOST HAVE BEEN STORED IN PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVES IN RECORD BOXES/MDF ICUBES AWAY FROM ANY HEAT AND IN A SMOKE FREE HOUSE. (NOT IN THE LOFT)
EVERY NOW AND THEN I LIST SOME RECORDS WHICH I HAVE DUPLICATES OF OR RARELY PLAY TO FUND MY BUYING OF OTHER RECORDS.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I FULLY PLAY GRADE ALL MY LISTINGS THROUGH HEADPHONES AND GIVE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE VINYL, COVER AND PLAYBACK USING THE RECORD COLLECTORS GUIDE 2014. I NEVER USE MINT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR ON A SEALED BRAND NEW RECORD.
PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE, I HAVE BEEN BUYING AND SELLING RECORDS ON EBAY SINCE 2006 AND HAVE 100% FEEDBACK.
IF BY ANY CHANCE YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH MY SERVICE PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUE AS I DO OFFER A FULL REFUND ONCE THE RECORD IS RETURNED TO ME SAFELY IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY.

VINYL VISUAL : THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF LIGHT MARKS ON BOTH SIDES UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT WHICH UNFORTUNATLEY GAVE SOME SOME BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND RANDOM CLICKS DURING PLAYBACK BUT THE LOUD CUT SABBATH SOUND IS ALWAYS RIGHT TO THE FORE. A WELL PLAYED COPY, VISUALLY JUST GOOD CONDITION.

VINYL PLAYBACK :  I LISTENED TO THIS ON HEADPHONES, PLAYBACK WAS FINE WITH A LOUD CUT FIRST PRESS BASSY SOUND. THERE ARE THE ALREADY MENTIONED CRACKLE AND LIGHT BACKGROUND CLICKS WHICH ARE JUST MORE NOTICEABLE IN THE QUIET PARTS (ORCHID AND SOLITUDE ON SIDE 2) AND BETWEEN TRACKS. BUT THE LOUD MUSIC IS ALWAYS RIGHT TO THE FORE ON THE REST OF THE ALBUM. NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. STILL AN ENJOYABLE LISTEN.
