BLUE HORIZON BACON FAT GREASE ONE FOR ME

	£		44

Hi, I am Steve,I am an avid record collector and have been collecting records for about thirty years now and have reached the point where I have to rationalize my collection on the grounds of space at home.I have sold many lps on ebay and have a 100% feedback score.All my records for auction have been play graded by myself, listening to the whole record, as visual grading only tells part of the story.I will always try to describe all faults as clearly as possible.

All records for auction are play graded on my cherished system which is made up of the following; Linn Sondek Lp12 with Transfiguration Aria high quality moving coil cartridge, running into a full blown Naim Audio amplication set up, ending up with the awesome Linn Isobarik speakers being driven actively with THREE Naim NAP250 power amps!Believe me,if theres a fault with any of my vinyl, I will get to hear it!   I am a very critical listener who loves Opera on vinyl (a potential minefield for quality playback) so I will describe my records for auction as if I were to be the buyer.I will mention any defects small ,(or large ,unlikely as I avoid selling anything that I am not happy to listen to myself).

You can safely be assured that my records play without jumps, skips and have no writing on covers or labels unless clearly stated to the contrary.

PLEASE READ ALL MY ITEM DETAILS AND TERMS/CONDITIONS LISTED BELOW AND GOOD LUCK IF YOU DECIDE TO BID AND THANKYOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VIEW MY AUCTION,CHEERS STEVE.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THIS ALBUM'S COVER;

This cover was originally unlaminated.hence the potential for wear is high.

COVER FRONT;Some light ring wear to the top and bottom sections with a light sticker glue stain in top left corner,there are also 2 small pieces of clear sticky tape that have been used to repair the top edge seal.   

TOP EDGE;A fair amount of rubwear across the entire length. 

BOTTOM EDGE;Very light rub wear to the entire edge not as noticible as the top edge though.

RIGHT (OPENING ) EDGE;In very good condition with NO feathering or rub wear,indicating that is likely the record has not left the sleeve many times.

LEFT (SPINE)EDGE;Very good,though a little compression,however the writing is all very clear and present.

COVER SUMMARY;Generally Very good given that this is an unlaminated cover of some 38 years of age,these covers were very prone to edge and ring wear.If you are a serious Blues collector then please dont let this album pass you by as the vinyl is in Near Mint condition!Whilst it may be easier to upgrade the sleeve,it will be near impossible to find the vinyl in better condition as you will read later in this description. 

VINYL CONDITION AND VISUAL GRADING;

Visually the vinyl is Near Mint with there being only the feintest of spindle marks visible to indicate play,the labels are pristine and the spindle hole shows no wear to its circumference.NO scratches,just a glossy shine with only the odd paper scuff mark(from removal and insertion to the inner sleeve)  visible under strong light .

VINYL SOUND QUALITY AND AUDIO GRADING;

This Album hits you between the eyes from the moment the first note is played,the glorious and dynamic sound jumps out of the speakers right in front of you!There is nothing to disappoint your listening pleasure throughout the entirity of both sides.Just the usual slight surface noise is evident on the run in groove and between the tracks,however only at moderately loud volumes settings.

This album will not disappoint the serious collector sonically and the vinyl will not require upgrading.

This album rarely turns up on ebay and almost never in this sonic condition,dont let it pass you buy if you are after a copy of this fantastic blues album!
