isnw ecp KISS DESTROYER IN MAGNIFICENT TWO PLAY MINT CONDITION OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS SLEEVE THE RARE 1ST PRESS BLUE LABEL 1G / 1R MOTHERS /STAMPERS TIME TRAVEL CONDITION CATALOGUE:CASABLANCA CBC 4008 MATRIX: CBC4008 A-1 / B-1 MOTHERS / STAMPERS:1 G / 1 R ONE OF THE VERY FIRST OFF THE PRESS RECENTLY I SOLD A BATCH OF 80 S ROCK LP S THAT WERE IN THE MOST OUTSTANDING CONDITION.
I BELIEVE I HAVE BETTERED THAT NOW WITH A COLLECTION OF 70 S ROCK ALBUMS THAT ARE IN A CONDITION THAT DEFIES BELIEF.
THEY BELONGED TO A COLLECTOR WHO WAS ABSOLUTELY METICULOUS WITH THEM.
MOST ARE PLAYED JUST ONCE OR SOME NOT AT ALL, WITH A FEW HAVING 2-4 PLAYS AT MOST.
THE VINYLS ARE JUST PERFECT AS YOU WILL HEAR WHEN YOU PLAY THE SOUNDBITES.
BACK IN THE 70 S RECORD SHOPS LIKE W.H SMITHS SOLD NUMBERING SYSTEMS SO THAT COLLECTORS COULD CATALOGUE THEIR RECORDS.
IT INVOLVED A SHEET OF GUMMY NUMBERS IN SMALL SQUARES, WHICH WERE PLACED ON THE ALBUM SLEEVE.
THE CORRESPONDING NUMBER WAS ALSO ON A RECORD CARD WHICH THE OWNER FILLED IN WITH THE ALBUM DETAILS.
WHILST THIS DOES CAUSE A SMALL RESIDUAL MARK ON THE SLEEVE, ANYONE WHO COLLECTED RECORDS IN THIS WAY USUALLY CARED FOR THEM AND PROTECTED THEM LIKE THEY WERE THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THEIR LIVES.
THIS COLLECTION IS NO DIFFERENT.
THE LP S WERE ALL HOUSED INSIDE STRONG RECORD CASES, MEANING THAT THEY WERE PROTECTED FROM THE LIGHT, SO THERE HAS BEEN NO FADING OF THE COLOURS, AND BECAUSE THERE WERE ONLY 20 IN EACH CASE, THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING OR SHELF WEAR, AND IN MOST CASES THE SLEEVES ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN.
YES IT MAY NOT BE EVERY COLLECTORS DESIRE TO HAVE THE SMALL NUMBER SQUARE ON THE SLEEVE, AND I COULD REMOVE THEM WITHOUT DAMAGING THE SLEEVE, BUT I AM GOING TO LEAVE THE DECISION TO THE NEW OWNER WHETHER TO REMOVE OR NOT.
ALSO WORTH A MENTION IS THE FACT THAT THE INNER SLEEVES ON MOST OF THE LP S ARE ABSOLUTELY FLAT AND UNWRINKLED.
JUST NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVES LET ME JUST SAY THAT IN MY OPINION YOU WILL NEVER EVER GET A BETTER CHANCE TO GET A ONCE PLAYED, UNPLAYED OR BARELY PLAYED 70 S CLASSIC ROCK ALBUM THE RECORDS THE LABELS THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION.
THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND RED LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FINE SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE THE VINYL ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE DISC.NOT A FINGERMARK ANYWHERE, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES .
PLAYING THE RECORD I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING.
I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE LP FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS ISLAND VINYL IS NOTORIOUS FOR VINYL NOISE WITH MOST PRESSINGS HAVING THIS .HERE HOWEVER WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE NOISE FREE PRESSING THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON ALL SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
