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 RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE PURPLE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRITINE CONDITION. 

THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. 

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. 

THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO IT. THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE HOLES

THE VINYL

IMMACULATE AS NEW GLEAMING DISC. THIS COULD NOT BE ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGNAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE SURFACE ANYWHERE, AND EVEN WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES

NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES

NO CLICKS OR POPS

I HEARD A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES, BUT NEVER DURING THE MUSIC

NO STATIC TICS OR POPS

 AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS

 THE SPINE IS THE FIRST PRESS TAPERED ENDED SPINE , WHICH HAS A SINGLE VERY LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSION. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS LEGIBLE. A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP

THE POLY LINED  INNER SLEEVE HAS A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES, BUT HAS NO SEAM SPLITS
