AUDIOPHILE - TRUE CLASSIC FLAMENCO PEPE ROMERO 1987 PHILIPS DIGITAL 422 069-1
Made in Holland
Described as the 'greatest flamenco recording on the planet' this is a Dutch first pressing of the astonishing and incredibly rare 1987 album from Pepe Romero, Chano Lobato, Maria Magdalena and Paco Romero.
This is the second copy of this album which I have sold and I am glad to say that whilst the previous copy graded EX+/VG+ this one is considerably better with very few flaws. Visually both sides are NM with no scuffs, scratches or markings. The majority of Side One plays NM except for around 15 irregular, light static-like ticks right at the start of the side and some exceptionally light crackle for a few seconds towards the end of the side. I would therefore grade conservatively at EX-. In contrast Side Two plays NM.
The cover grades VG with some shelf wear and some creasing. Similarly the insert grades VG- with some creasing. See pics below.
Happy bidding!
Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums with the addition of the accepted Near Mint category:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
NEAR MINT: The record appears new but is known to have been played because the label has light spindle marks or because it has come from a previous owner
and is assumed to have been played by them
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,
despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump.
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.
POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
I try to be as accurate as possible, however, we are all human so if there are any problems please let me know.
