CURTIS JONES
~ NOW RESIDENT IN EUROPE ~
(1970 BLUE HORIZON RECORDS – RARE UK MONO FIRST PRESSING!)
ON OFFER HERE IS A VERY RARE, UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE AMAZING BLUES ALBUM “NOW RESIDENT IN EUROPE” BY CURTIS JONES ON THE BLUE HORIZON LABEL.
THIS SUPERB ORIGINAL VINYL PRESSING IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION!
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS BLUE HORIZON 7-63207
MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: 7 63207 A1 / 7 63207 B1
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS SOME WEAR AND THERE ARE A FEW WRINKLES / LIGHT CREASES. THERE IS A BIT OF MINOR RUBBING TO THE CORNERS. THE EDGES ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT. THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS JUST LEGIBLE. THE PROBLEM THAT LETS THIS SLEEVE DOWN IS THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER ‘PROTECTED’ THE SPINE AND TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WITH CLEAR TAPE. THIS TAPE HAS NOW FALLEN OFF LEAVING STAINS AND MARKS ON FRONT AND BACK ADJACENT TO THE EDGES. IT IS NOT TOO BAD ON THE FRONT BUT THE MARKS ON THE BACK SHOW CLEARLY.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS. NONE AFFECT THE PLAYBACK AND HAVING LISTENED TO BOTH SIDES OF THIS BRILLIANT RECORD I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.
THE LABEL
THE LIGHT & DARK BLUE, BLUE HORIZON LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH A FEW MINOR SPINDLE MARKS.
