Description
JAMES BROWN - IT'S A MAN'S MAN'S MAN'S WORLD
CW: IS IT YES OR IS IT NO
1966 PYE ORIGINAL UK PRESS
PLAYS TO A NEAR MINT GRADE
I HAVE A BATCH OF SINGLES THAT BELONGED TO AN AVID COLLECTOR. THIS COLLECTOR WAS METICULOUS WITH HIS RECORDS, AND RECORDED EVERY SINGLE PLAY THAT ANY OF HIS RECORDS RECEIVED. HE KEPT A RED BIRO WITH HIS COLLECTION, AND EVERY PLAY THAT ANY OF THEM RECEIVED EITHER A SIDE OR B SIDE, HE PLACED A RED LINE ON THE SLEEVE.
THEREFORE I CAN BE 100% ACCURATE AS TO EXACTLY HOW MANY PLAYS EACH SINGLE RECEIVED
MAN'S WORLD = 8 PLAYS
IS IT YES= 3 PLAYS
CATALOGUE NUMBER:PYE 7N 25371
MATRIX NUMBER:7N 25371 A1 H / B1 H
MOTHERS/STAMPERS:
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE MAGENTA LABELS ARE ALL MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE MARK ON ANY OF THEM, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PRISTINE.
JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LABEL.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
A SPECK OF OCCASIONAL BARLEY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH OF SIDE ONE AND JUST A COUPLE ON SIDE TWO
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVES
THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE PYE PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL VERY BRIGHT.FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SPLITS
AS I MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING, THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY MARKED EACH PLAY AND THERE ARE 8 MARKS FOR THE A SIDE AND 3 FOR THE B SIDE. ALSO THE DATE HE ACQUIRED THE SINGLE IS PENNED INTO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
THE TOP EDGE IS UNWORN
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT
FOR ME THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT. I APPRECIATE THAT SOME WON'T AGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE IT HAS WRITING ON THE FRONT, BUT TO ME THIS IS AUTHENTIC HISTORICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS VINYL, AND I BELIEVE IT ENHANCES THE SINGLE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
