Description
ATTENTION!
St*neyBl*ke / Mint-Minus Records is currently using a KEITH MONKS 'Prodigy' professional record-cleaning machine to enhance the vinyl service. The Prodigy is the latest model of record-cleaning machine (available for the first time in 2020), from the World-renowned Keith Monks company and is already receiving excellent reviews in the HI-Fi press. The machine has been acquired in order to increase the quality of the vinyl that is sold through this site to the highest level possible, and the machine does give excellent results.
What difference does this make to the records that are advertised here?
From this point on ALL vinyl that I sell will have been cleaned using this machine, combined with a specially formulated KEITH MONKS or ART DU SON record-cleaning solution made from pure bio-degradable ingredients.
PROCEDURE
1) Firstly the disc will be cleaned as described above 2) The disc will then be FULLY play-graded, to enable an accurate grading for the advert. I am happy to offer this service. This is done on a very high quality Linn Sondek turntable fitted with a £100 Goldring E3 moving-magnet cartridge.
Gradings are made according to the Record Collector Magazine grading system.
LOTS MORE FOLK ALBUMS TO BE ADVERTISED IN THE COMING MONTHS
MICHAEL CHAPMAN This great album, a genre-defining opus and a favourite of mine for the past 45 years is for sale here, being a first pressing. The one of a kind Michael Chapman, one of the finest English blues/folk finger-picking guitarists, released this debut album in July 1969. There are solo acoustic tracks, and band tracks which include musicians Rick Kemp, Barry Morgan, Danny Thompson, Clem Clempson and Aynsley Dunbar. The superb production was by Gus Dudgeon. First released on the UK Harvest label, I bought this copy 2nd hand in a small record shop in Baker Street, London in 1980 and it has been very well cared for ever since. I now have 2 copies so I am selling one of them. His second album in 1970 would include electric guitar played by Mick Ronson. (Also well worth owning)
