Description
Joan Armatrading 1976 Self titled Debut, a low played 1st issue of this series. When this came out in 1979 I believe, you had to be a reader of Practical Hifi, like jazzy singer songwriters (and possibly not already have this 1976 title, already 3 years old by then), and be bothered to send away a cheque for this via mail order offer from the magazine. They knew this limited the audience for it so about 800 were pressed. Of those how many have survived in clean condition as here?. The nimbus vinyl formula on special order from ICI back then is very very quiet, letting the mastertape do all the talking. I know this album like the back of my hand, having bought it in 1978 whilst still at school (on double cassette first, then UK A&M), and having heard it many hundreds of times since then. This is one of the greatest Joan Armatrading albums, and this is the greatest pressing I have ever heard (I have just the two, but this walks it). The reason I am not keeping it is mine is just as clean, otherwise this is a real highlight in someones collection, one to put on the table for a visceral experience, pretty much start to finish. Nimbus England in the run out grooves as called for.
Vinyl is visually unmarked Mint this is part of the large mainly unplayed selection I am offering, & the sleeve is Near Mint, the british type shrink split to stop it deforming the sleeve (it shrinks more over the years) but no excessive spindle marks to the clean labels.
We pack in hard card custom made new boxes.
