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 VINYLS   MINT- STRONG    INCREDIBLE  CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  EARLIEST  1st HEAVYWEIGHT PRESSING With the original first edition labels-

OLD SHOP STOCK!  IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN PLAYED JUST A COUPLE OF TIMES AT BEST

IT IS ASTONISHING- Unlike so many copies of this Lp there is no bad sizzle, or pressing defects anywhere across the 4 sides.. A joy!

This pressing is a superb vinyl set which 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.

There are barely any light whisp lines anywhere -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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid out the vinyl.

We can see NO spider lines around the centre holes-

IT REMAINS IN SUPERB AS NEW PLAY CONDITION. There is some dust on the vinyl where it has stood for so long untouched!

On playing through we heard nothing in the dead grooves bar the tiniest of static in the dead grooves...

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

THE BEST COPY WE HAVE AUCTIONED IN 15 YEARS.
