PETER HAMMILL "Fool's Mate" 1971 UK CHARISMA 1st PRESS
OUTER TEXTURED EJ DAY GF, SENSATIONAL SOUND, RARE LP
PETER HAMMILL
Fool's Mate
UK CHARISMA RECORDS (CAS 1037) FIRST 'PINK SCROLL' PRESSING (July 1971) OF PETER HAMMILL'S DEBUT SOLO LP "Fool's Mate" - IN GREAT CONDITION AND DELIVERING SUPERB SOUND ON MY SYSTEM - AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME! (see detailed audio assessment below)
PRESSED ON QUALITY MID-WEIGHT VINYL WITH THE FIRST ISSUE PINK CHARISMA LABELS
MATRIX: CAS 1037 A-2U / CAS 1037 B-2U
VERY EARLY MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1/GD and 1/G
THE LP IS HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL OUTER TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE "Printed and made by the E. J. Day Group, London and Bedford"
Side 1: Imperial Zeppelin / Candle / Happy / Solitude / Vision / Re-Awakening
Side 2: Sunshine / Child / Summer Song (In The Autumn) / Viking / The Birds / I Once Wrote Some Poems
LABELS: Clean and bright with light/moderate spindle traces and a 'star' mark on Side One, left by some kind of label (but this has caused no damage, just left an impression - please see close-up photos) - EXCELLENT
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their original deep, glossy sheen with some superficial marks (especially on Side Two) but these have no real audio consequence and are purely cosmetic - visually EXCELLENT / VERY GOOD+
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio quality throughout with a rich, warm and vibrant sound and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing, and it's always an immense pleasure to return to this one) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no loud clicks/pops (which is pretty rare) and only some touches of light surface noise on the track divisions and on some (not all) of the quietest passages (nothing major and nothing I found at all intrusive). The sound quality is simply sensational throughout and the LP plays to an extremely high standard. All frequencies are bright and clear and there is no groove-wear and no distortion. Critically graded a strong EXCELLENT for audio - it sounds great
SLEEVE: The original outer textured cover is in beautiful condition with very little wear to speak of. The textured surfaces are clean and unrubbed and the edges are crisp and square with a straight and true spine with no creasing (there is no text on the spine). The inside surfaces are clean, fresh and unmarked overall, a very, very fine example of this easily worn sleeve - EXCELLENT+

REDUCED POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS (EACH ADDITIONAL LP: EUROPE & INTERNATIONAL £2.00)
I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period. However, at the end of each 10 day period, all outstanding items will need to be paid for in full and will be posted to you. Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period. I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
Guarantee: I endeavour to be as accurate and honest as possible when describing the condition of any LP but of course if you feel that I am mistaken and the description is inaccurate I will offer a complete, no quibble refund (through Paypal) upon return of the item.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to a recent spate of bidders with no feedback not paying for records I must insist that all bidders with 0 feedback contact me first before bidding to confirm their genuine intention to buy the record otherwise their bid will be cancelled and they will be blocked. Sorry to sound so authoritarian but non payers are a real waste of not only my time but genuine eBayers
ALL RECORDS ARE PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED BEFORE DISPATCH AND PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, QUALITY CUSTOM MAILER AND STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
I will email you when payment has been received to let you know when the item will be posted. Please leave feedback upon receipt of the item so that I know you have received it safely. Any problems please email me. Thanks
