Description
THE OFFICIAL DEBUT MOTORHEAD ALBUM RELEASED IN 1977 THIS PRESSING WITH A2 B3 MATRICES AND THE SPELLING ERRORS ON THE TRACK LISTINGS / CREDITS. IT'S THEIR FIRST ALBUM WITH THE EARTH SHATTERING LINE UP OF LEMMY, FAST EDDIE AND PHILTHY ANIMAL ANYWAY AN UNHOLY TRINITY OF VOLUME AND ROCK 'N' ROLL SPIRIT UNLIKELY EVER TO BE REPEATED IN HISTORY.
RECORDED IN A WEEKEND OF AMPHETAMINE AND ALCOHOL ABUSE WHICH BEGAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEIR PLANNED FINAL GIG IN LONDON, IN A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO RECORD THEIR SONGS BEFORE SPLITTING THE BAND UP. THE LEGACY THAT ENSUED BECAUSE OF THIS WILL LIVE FOREVER AND HERE WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF MUSICAL HISTORY ON WAX!
THE RECORD HAS SOME LIGHT SIGNS OF USE, IT HAS BEEN DEEP CLEANED ON A RCM AND THE SURFACE COMES UP CLEAN AND RETAINING GLOSS, ON INSPECTION ONLY SOME MINOR CONTACT WISPS AND A FEW OCCASIONAL LIGHT HAIRLINES ARE VISIBLE, THERE ARE NO FEELABLE SCRATCHES, HORIZONTAL GROOVE DAMAGE, NICKS, DAMP SPOTS OR THAT KIND OF THING.
THE RECORD SITS FLAT AND PLAYS THROUGH WELL WITH A STRONG SOUND. IT IS NOT KNOWN FOR BEING THE MOST SUBTLY PRODUCED ALBUM LOL BUT THE SOUND IS ROUGH AND READY AND REPRESENTED WELL IN PLAYBACK OF THIS COPY. THERE IS SOME LIGHT SURFACE PRESENCE IN THE OPENING GROOVES / DEAD WAX BUT REALLY NOTHING SERIOUS JUST SOME LIGHT 'VINYL' SOUND AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT FROM USED RECORDS FROM THE 1970's CERTAINLY NOTHING OVERLY INTRUSIVE OR CLOSE TO OVERPOWERING. THERE MIGHT BE AN OCCASIONAL CLICK OR POP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND ONLY JUST A LIGHT PRESENCE NOTICEABLE THROUGHOUT PLAYBACK TO SOME EXTENT. THE FREQUENCIES HOLD WELL WITHOUT CLIPPING ON THE HIGH RANGES AND WELL IT'S MOTORHEAD NOT PHIL COLLINS AND THIS IS A VINYL TO BE PLAYED AT LOUD VOLUME AND TREASURED BY A ROCK & ROLL DISCIPLE!
OVERALL IT IS A WELL PLAYING COPY, VERY ENJOYABLE BUT WITH SOME LIGHT GENERAL LIMITATIONS AS DESCRIBED DUE TO AGE AND PREVIOUS USE.
THE SLEEVE HAS SOME OBVIOUS PRONOUNCED SHELF WEAR (SEE PICS) BUT AGAIN NOT OVERPOWERING THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE. THE PRINTED INNER SLEEVE IS IN GREAT SHAPE.
CONDITION & GRADING
I use the standard 'Record Collector' grading system conservatively!
Usually with an additional note included in the item description.
The records are carefully inspected under strong light and played tested in part.
I use a RCM where needed to remove any lint, dust or fingerprints.
I really try my hardest to avoid some of the common and unnecessary oversights that can occur in grading used vinyl and deliver items that look and sound great!
Please check my excellent reputation selling used media here on eBay and feel confident doing business with me.
ALL ITEMS ARE PACKED SECURELY AND WITH CARE FOR TRANSIT - FEAR NOT!
