I have come across a collection of records that defy time.
They belonged to a collector who was buying in the mid to late 60's through the 70's and 80's
However his family have said that he didn't own a record player until the mid 80's.
Very strange I know, but what it means is that the early records have in most cases never been played or at the most one play.
Naturally people's tastes in music change and that's why the 80's albums have had more play than the 60's
There are some incredible records in this collection
I aim to release one per day and will list them at 8pm UK time so that they don't get confused with my other listings
I will also be playing each record and recording IT. My very very careful test play will go undetected however
THE ASSOCIATION - GREATEST HITS

THE RECORD
THE LABELS

THE BASE COLOUR IS UNFADED, UNRUBBED, AND HAS NO STAINS OR MARKS ON IT AND IT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE
THERE IS JUST ONE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
A BARELY PLAYED VINYL IN THE SORT OF CONDITION THAT AS A COLLECTOR YOU WOULD WANT TO FIND.
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION IT LOOKS AS PRISTINE AS IT DOES IN DAYLIGHT
THE TEST PLAY
A TRULY SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM
