Description
Doug Sahm w/the Sir Douglas Quintet "Rough Edges" vinyl US Import EX condition.
Doug Sahm With The Sir Douglas Quintet – Rough Edges Label: Mercury – SRM 1-655 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Pitman Press Country: US Released: 1973 Genre: Rock Style: Folk Rock, Country Rock, Blues Rock
Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman pressing denoted by "CP" and "P" stamps in runouts. (see photo)
The gatefold cover is in very good condition externally, only showing slight signs of wear/storage. Internally the left side shows minor blotching/blemishes and the right side shows 2 diagonal creases, however the text is perfectly readable (see photo).
Excellent vinyl, with no visible blemishes. I recall not particularly liking this album and I very much doubt it was played more than one or twice, therefore it is virtually mint.
Appears to be the original inner sleeve(s) in good condition.
Part of quality collection of Mobile Fidelity releases, Half-Speed Masters, Direct Cut Masters and over 120 Japanese Pressings included in a total of 1500 albums.
I have been an audiophile for over 50 years and all vinyl etc lovingly cared for, and since the original purchase perfectly stored on appropriate shelving and in a smoke free environment. As far back as the late 60’s a friend built me a beautiful solid wood cabinet to store the vinyl, which I used for over 40 years. Later using additional Habitat “storage cubes” which were perfect for albums at 13” x 13”
My turntable is not currently wired up (no suitable equipment) has not been used for over 12 years, therefore other that the look of the vinyl I am unable to comment on the presence of pops/crackles etc.
Recently a sold album was rejected by the purchaser because of a musty smell and slight stains on the inner sleeve (the vinyl was immaculate). It was from a series of half-speed masters with their own brand of inner sleeve. A friend has subsequently confirmed the smell with a similar release not yet sold. My sense of smell must be failing me because I could not smell the mild odour, I also cannot often smell the diffuser in my hall. My failing eye sight obviously did not spot the blemishes on the sleeve. My sincerest apologies if I miss any blemishes or odour again. I shall try my best.
In 1987 I started on a wonderful journey, and still going on, collecting Grateful Dead music. Involving thousands of cassettes (over 3000), 150 PCM tapes, 300 DAT Tapes and currently 4700 Cd’s, and over 800 duplicates etc. discarded. This involved 6 Nakamichi Decks and 2 Professional DAT machines.
With this commitment I hardly played any vinyl.
