Welcome to 'Its the vinyl countdown' music auctions. Here you will find some of the most incredible rare records and music memorabilia for your collection. We pride ourselves on auctioning only the highest grade records and items, you will not see anything listed here below EX+ condition, unles the item is extremely rare. You will not see worn covers, warped records or scratched records. We simply do not bother with them.

We list in many cases, 'Archived' & 'mint' condition items, we are able to source from private collections all over the UK. So we hope you can be put at ease that what you are bidding on is of the highest quality.

We play through most of the records, unless the item is clearly mint, or sealed..in which case we don't play them, thus maintaining their 'unplayed' status!  Obviously with some of these rare items there will be the odd 'anomoly' along the way , the odd little static pop or lead in 'sizzle' for a split second.. nothing is perfect we find! all systems differ, but we aim to describe these as accurately as possible for you.... PLEASE ENJOY THIS ITEM YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT..

THE VINYL   MINT  ONE PLAY ONLY!  

As you can see, this vinyl is the highly prized  1st UK pressing - A1 B1 MATRIX FROM 1984!

THE EARLIEST PRESS THERE IS!

Stored from new this LP has seen ONE PLAY- Taped onto cassette and filed away til now!

Just one example from this staggering collection we are offering..

This superb vinyl  has retained its amazing glossy sheen and finish. There is no dulling anywhere and overall it is in incredible condition for an LP of this age. The edges are silky smooth, typical of these vintage pressings. We rarely see  this LP, &never quite as good as this one!

NO feint spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever.

Surplus wax around the hole!

There is barely a hint of any whisp lines, and thats it-  nothing else!  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..IT REMAINS IN ASTONISHING CONDITION.

On playing through we heard nothing  in the dead grooves.... In fact its easily as good as we have heard.

OVERALL THIS IS SIMPLY A MUST FOR ANY FINAL UPGRADE COLLECTION. YOU WILL NOT SEE BETTER.

 

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

 

THE SLEEVE     MINT-

Correct  first UK issued earliest LOW GLOSS sleeve  - with INNER SLEEVE

 This is in simply incredible condition, quite amazing how it has survived so clean.

A VERY HARD SLEEVE TO SEE IN ANY DECENT CONDITION-

The edges are all super clean with barely any hints/ traces of rub, at all , and all colours and inks remain in outstanding condition

No powdery white ringwear - NO ring press, and all edges are super crisp.

 The spine edge is totally unmarked with no wear, or squash.

A couple of tiny spider lines on the spine only

The open edge remains in immaculate sharp condition -superb.

We cannot add any more than this! ITS A  BEAUTY AND AS GOOD AS WE HAVE SEEN!
