Description
Hi All, its been some time since I put a few records up for auction, however, the thinning out of my collection continues. I’ve sorted out a few choice cuts in the collection for your consideration as well as a few ‘vinyl staples’ for the discerning new entrant to vinyl collecting. OK for your consideration we have:
Title: BARBED WIRE SANDWHICH By BLACK CAT BONES
Cat No: SDN 15 – stereo
Matrix No: ZAL-9431-P-2W / 9432-P-1W
Issue: Original 1970 issue on the DECCA NOVA Label
Vinyl Condition visual: The vinyl grades as EX; the vinyl has retained most of its gloss and deep sheen. The disc is very clean with a just a few very light scratches/marks, other than that, just careful handling marks commensurate with age and grade. All in all, this is a very smart copy of this highly sought collectable.
Vinyl Condition Playback: The vinyl grades as EX; a little light static at the run-in so not quite silent, but almost silent between the tracks. Some very occasional and low level/mild static clicks/pops during play-back– but these are hardly noticeable even with headphones on. Aside from this, the playback is EX and the music is delivered superbly. The vinyl sits perfectly flat on the turntable.
Label Condition: Ex; just look at the pics. Just a few very light spindle marks other than that there is no damage or other unwanted blemishes at all to the labels. The silver script is clean and legible.
Cover Front: The front cover Grades as EX; the laminated front is clean and mainly undamaged and has retained its shape very well. The central image is clear and the lamination is excellent and intact. Points to note are: bottom left, crease in laminate above DECCA NOVA logo; mild ring-wear when held to the light and top right small area of laminate lift, more a bubble in the laminate. Other than that there are no notable creases/splits whatsoever to report. All edges are secure; overall an excellent example of this sleeve.
Cover Back: EX; the unlaminated back is in EX condition being very clean. A mild bend/crease at top left other than that damage free. Despite being unlaminated there are few marks of any note, in fact the white areas are very clean and I have no hesitation in grading it as EX.
Spine: EX; the spine is intact, clean with good lamination cover. It has retained its square shape and all the text is very legible and clear. Pinched corners are still defined.
Corners: VG; all are slightly bumped but nothing drastic at all.
Inserts/Other: Original poly-lined Decca Stereo inner.
Summary: Here’s your chance to grab a very decent copy of this highly sought after album.
