Description
A BRILLIANT BRITISH BLUES ALBUM IN STEREO!
JOHN MAYALL BLUESBREAKERS:"A HARD ROAD"
AN ORIGINAL 1966 UK STEREO PRESSING WITH THE UNBOXED LOGOS,WIDEBAND DESIGN AND SUPER THICK VINYL!
SKL 4853 + 1W/1W MATRIXES+THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE +A LAMINATED FRONT COVER.
WHEN FIRST ISSUED BACK IN 1966 THIS WAS OF COURSE A BIG SELLER BUT ALMOST EVERY COPY THAT SURVIVES IS IN BEATEN UP,WORN CONDITION AND THE MAJORITY OPTED FOR MONO EDITIONS!
OFTEN STEREO COPIES WERE PLAYED ON MONO EQUIPMENT IN ERROR!
MOST COPIES SOLD 45 YEARS AGO IN 1966 WERE PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD A NUMBER OF PLAYS WITH A FEW FAINT,VISUAL SURFACE MARKS,BUT HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE! A FEW SHORT LIVED FAINT CLICKS AND POPS AT THE BUT GENERALLY THE SOUND IS SUPERB!
A LITTLE"TOP END"DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND"PEAKS"WHEN LISTENING WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON AS I DO FOR STRICT GRADING BUT THIS IS MINIMAL AND STILL BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE!
NO LOUD CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS!
CLEAN LABELS-JUST A LITTLE SPINDLE WEAR!
THE LAMINATED FRONT SLEEVE HAS SOME SMALL CREASES AND SLIGHT STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.
NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!
THIS LP IS STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD++++ BUT SOUNDS MUCH NEARER TO NEAR EXCELLENT CONDITION. PLAYS VERY NICE!
THIS LP HAS WIDE STEREO MIXES WITH FAR MORE BASS AND MUCH THICKER VINYL THAN LATER 1970s and 1980s REISSUES WHICH HAD WAFER THIN VINYL!
GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!
GREAT INVESTMENT!!!
TOTALLY FLAT VINYL! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!
READ ON CAREFULLY FOR ALL THE INFORMATION ON THIS GEM!!
PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO.
CHECKOUT MY REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF JUST £20 !!

SUPERB SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!
The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.
