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+/ MINT- PLAY 

As you can see, this vinyl is the  1969 PLUM LABELS  pressing-

HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL SAME AS THE FIRST PRESSES..Later copies were far thinner.

 Stored from new this LP has seen VERY LOW plays only, and remains in pristine play condition everywhere.

WE ARE AMAZED AT THE CONDITION IN FACT (Alas considering the sleeve it lives in)

This HEAVYWEIGHT pressing is a superb vinyl 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. 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 few spider lines around the centre hole, and no wear to the spindle hole whatsoever. Such obvious low play for this classic vinyl.

There are just a few fine whisp lines, and a couple of tiny feint hairlines 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  Clearly this LP has been archived for many many years, a few little dust specs are on the vinyl when we slid it for checking..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 bar the tiniest of lead in static in the dead grooves..it sounds  amazing with no hiss or pops or unwanted noises.. we have not hard a copy play this clean for years in fact!!!

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

 

THE LABELS   MINT  FLAT MATT LABELS

 

THE SLEEVE     G+

Correct  first UK issued earliest sleeve  MATT 'THICK CARD' SLEEVE

WITH BLUE PRINTED  INNER,  

Printed by  -   EJ DAY

 The sleeve as you will see is not our usual standard.. and it belies the fact the vinyl is so INCREDIBLE..But this is the original and despite some wear and rough edges it is still presentable and we have seen worse..

There is some ring rub, light scuffing and a few rub spots, the gatefold is super, and overall no, not one of the best- but its an original and if you can get a better sleeve you have a stunning vinyl ready for it!

 

 

THE INNER SLEEVE   EX STRONG
