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 ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

I CAN JUST MAKE OUT ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE NEAR THE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.

THERE ARE NO MARKS WHATSOEVER ON THIS VINYL, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPS

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. SOMETHING I AM NOW DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD WELCOME 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

THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR AND CRISP STEREO REPRODUCTION.A SUPERB CLARITY AND CRISPNESS, THAT IS BOTH LOUD AND POWERFUL. GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RECORD THERE IS A SILENT RUN IN. AND AN OUTSTANDING STEREO REPRODUCTION

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS AT ANY POINT

JUST THE ODD BARELY AUDIBLE SPECK OF VINYL NOISE IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES, AND NO MORE NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE, AND JUST THE ODD RANDOM TINY SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC HERE AND THERE

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF THE TINIEST DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

JAMES UPTON UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THIS IS THE BEST EVER EXAMPLE OF THIS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET (IN MINT CONDITION) SLEEVE!!

THE FRONT SURFACE IS JUST IMMACULATE. THE JET BLACK SURFACE REALLY IS PERFECT AND HAS NO RUBBING OR LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE, AND NO RING WEAR OR EVEN A HINT OF RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES AT ALL, AND AMAZINGLY NOT ONE LINE NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE EASILY RUBBED BLACK TOTALLY INTACT AND STRETCHING ACROSS FROM CORNER TO CORNER. ONLY THE TWO RIGHT TIPS HAVE THE TINIEST PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWING ON THE VERY TIP ENDS

THE SPINE  IS TOTALLY FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. AGAIN THE BLACK SURFACE IS JUST IMMACULATE AND EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NO RUBBING TO THE TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS MADE.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION AS THE FRONT

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A TEAR TO THE DIE CUT HOLE ON THE FLIPBACKED SIDE

 

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  MINT!!!

 

AN OUTSTANDING AND RARE COLLECTIBLE COPY OF THIS ALBUM

 

 

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