'ITS THE VINYL COUNTDOWN'

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   EX+  INCREDIBLE  PLAY CONDITION

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1st 1  1 1973 pressing- Stored from new this LP  remains in pristine condition everywhere.

JUST A FEW PLAYS ONLY, AND ALONG WITH THE INCREDIBLE SLEEVE THIS IS A SUPERB SET.

This pressing  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 are seing fewer and fewer copies of this LP, so rarely do we see a copy at all, let alone like this.

A COUPLE OF SPINDLE LINES, SOME VERY FEINT WHISP , AND A COUPLE OF HAIRLINES, BUT  MARKS ON THE VINYL OF ANY NOTE AT ALL THAT AFFECT THE PLAY

It has been archived for decades..., a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..On playing through we heard nothing bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves, and the odd tiny static in a few places only.

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

 

THE LABELS   MINT  MATT LABELS

 

THE SLEEVE     EX+ STRONG

Correct  first UK issued earliest sleeve  -with the SILVER FOIL LETTERING AND MATT TEXTURED FINISH SLEEVE

 CUT TO THE CHASE..THIS SLEEVE IS SIMPLY AMAZING..

Notorious for bad wear on the BLACK INKS AND SILVER FOILING  and general wear on the front, we have unearthed a beauty!

Bar a few tiny spider lines and  and some very small ring press at the top front, the whole finish is quite something!

THERE IS NO SCUFF WHITE RUB OR RUB ON THE SILVER INKS.
