Description
THIS IS THE SECOND EDITION OF THIS FANTASTIC ALBUM. HMV UK LP CSD 1499 WITH BLACK/RED LABELS. SOME WEAR (AND DELICATE REPAIR TO SLEEVE) BUT STILL WITH OVERALL EXCELLENT CLARUTY AND SHEEN AND LACK OF SPINDLE WEAR, OFFERING UP THE IDEA THAT IT HAS NOT HAD MUCH PLAY.
SLEEVE: VG (FRONT) VG+ (REAR). A LITTLE CORNER BUMPING/SCUFF. NO WRITING ON FRONT AND LAMINATE IS HEALTHY! HALF WAY DOWN RIGHT HAND SIDE OPENER, THERE IS A 2CM TEAR WHICH HAS BEEN DELICATELY REPAIRED. OTHERWISE NOT TOO BAD. REAR IS FINE. A LITTLE DISCOLOURATION AND VERY SMALL PENCIL DATE/INSCRIPTION (TOP RIGHT). PHOTOS TELL THE WHOLE STORY. OBVIOUSLY SOME STORAGE/HANDLING/HISTORICAL WEAR AND ONE SMALL REPAIR BUT NOT TOO BAD AT ALL.
DISC. A-SIDE:LOOKS VG+, PLAYS 'EX'. SOME LIGHT SURFACE/HAIRLINE MARKS BUT VERY LIGHT. EXCELLENT SHEEN AND SUPERB CLARITY. THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SURFACE/ BACKGROUND SOUND BUT NO PERSISTENT TICKS, NO SKIPS OR JUMPS AND NO LOUD POPPING. (SEE PHOTO)
B-SIDE: LOOKS 'EX', PLAYS VG+ TO -EX. SUPER SHEEN AND EXCELLENT AUDIO CLARITY. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT POPS AND (LITERALLY) A COUPLE OF LIGHT TICKS HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING UNTOWARD AND OCCASIONAL.. SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND/SURFACE SOUND BUT NOT IN ANY WAY TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE LISTENING PLEASURE. ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE WAY THROUGH, THERE IS A SMALL SCRATCH THAT IS AUDIBLE. HOWEVER (AND FORTUNATELY), IT RUNS ALONG AND NOT ACROSS THE GROOVE!! THE RESULT BEING, THERE IS NO PERSISTENT TICK THAT OCCURS FOR TOO MUCH TIME AND INHIBITING THE LISTENER. INSTEAD, THE CLICK (MORE OF A SCUFF TICK THAN A CLICK..IF YOU KNOW YOUR VINYL), LAST FOR 5 OR 6 ROTATIONS AND ALTHOUGH AUDIBLE IS FAIRLY QUICKLY OVER. THE FIRST AND LAST ROTATION ARE VERY LIGHT. SOME LIGHT , SUPERFICIAL MARKS NOT AFFECTING PLAY.
LABELS: NM. SUPER AND OBVIOUSLY A LCK OF SPINDLE WEAR. OVERVIEW: CLEARLY AGE-RELATED WEAR TO SLEEVE AND A SMALL REPAIR BUT NOT TOO BAD. DECENT! DISC: GENERALLY, EXCELLENT CLARITY THROUGHOUT....A NICE , CLEAN SOUND! VINYL IS NOT WORN AND SO AUDIO REPRODUCTION IS STILL OF HIGH QUALITY. YES...A SMALL SCRATCH OF 1CM ON B-SIDE, BUT THE DISTURBANCE IS NOT TOO BAD, ONLY RUNNING FOR SIX ROTATIONS AND NOT IN ANY WAY DEVASTATING BUT IT IS THERE! A LITTLE LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE SURFACE HERE AND THERE IN THE FORM OF A LIGHT POP OR TWO-TICKS BUT MOST LISTENABLE, NONETHELESS. NO SKIPS OR JUMPS ANYWHERE AND DEFINATELY NO PERSISTENT TICKING OR POPPING.
I AM A COLLECTOR FIRST AND FOREMOST AND WOULD NEVER LIST ANY ITEM THAT I MYSELF WOULD NOT BE HAPPY TO OWN AND PLAY.
