FYNN McCOOL - 


RCA

SF8112

1st UK Press 

 1970 Ultra Heavy vinyl


Very rare and highly sought after prog gem!! Named after a mythical Irish warrior, this quartet arose from the ashes of beat band the Shake Spears in 1968. Their sole album showcases their distinctive blend of organ-driven prog, hard rock and country-rock over 11 tracks. It appeared in July 1970, apparently without their consent, and sank without trace. It has gone on to become a very considerable rarity!!



Condition Record/Sleeve: EX+/EX

Weight of the vinyl: 136 gr.




Vinyl: EX+.  Both surfaces retain their original deep, glossy sheen.  There are a couple of the usual sleeve retraction paper scuff traces only visible under a strong lightsource. There are no marks. Just one wispy hairline on side 2 which is inaudible, the record sounds sensational. This has clearly barely been played and has no spindle traces or any wear on the spindle hole!
 Outstanding audio delivery in all respects with a crystal clear, deep, rich, warm and detailed sound and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing and it's always an immense pleasure to return to this one) there is barely any surface noise. This is a beautifully clean pressing (and I must emphasise again how difficult it is to find a copy which plays this well). The whole LP sounds absolutely great and plays to a high standard with superb clarity, no groove-wear and no distortion and is very strictly graded a strong EX+  for audio without anything untoward, no static or crackle at all - great copy!! Of course, NO skips, NO jumps, NO ticks.



 Sleeve: EX++.  A splendid example of this very hard to find LP. A great well looked after copy without any issues bar one tiny pen mark near the nozzle, blink and you'll miss it. Near perfect edges with only the lightest of wear and an extremely crisp opening. The spine is fully legible. It will be a tough task to still improve on this copy. Of course NO creases, NO tears, NO writing.

***This is a unique prime investment opportunity!!! Finding this classic album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is  a great and seriously collectable super album!!  You will buy into a piece of  superb prog history.*** 

 

This is a unique investment opportunity!!! The next prog album to go completely through the roof. Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. Get this while you still can. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!  PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST,  if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees  and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again!!

 

 

This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
