Rainbow : King Biscuit Flower Hour : Official double vinyl live US radio show – Live: Convention Centre San Antonio Texas 18.8.1982
This official double live album was released I seem to recall in Jan 1983.
Soundtrack from Live Between the eyes video, with side 4 blank
ABC radio networks
These were pressed in very limited numbers, distributed to radio shows in US for broadcast over the radio, hence FM broadcast quality recording. These are now becoming increasingly hard to find, particularly this side of the pond.
When originally bought was played at most 2 or 3 times, then filed away in their polythene sleeves on a shelf…only to now surface.
Visual inspection reveals disc in apparent excellent condition, deep glossy lustre.
On side B of disc 2 there are a couple of minor dings on track 1, will try to show in photos
The original plain white card sleeve has ‘show’ details written on front. Also a split along ¾ of the bottom edge.
Original que sheet present.
Selling on behalf of my Dad (who supplied all the info) from his personal collection, from the olden days when he collected vinyl.
I aim to use recycled packaging when possible, but rest assure that your vinyl will be well packed and protected against the trials of postal travel!
Important perspective info, please read….thanks ?.
A few words about the vinyl grading.
I try to be as honest as possible, but all grades are based upon an experienced but ultimately subjective visual inspection, trying to identify and highlight obvious issues.
Back in the day whilst my Dad purchased much of the vinyl new, as he expanded his collection , (eventually running into a few thousand discs) hence many only played once, inevitably he was drawn to second hand (pre-loved) copies of certain discs, including the rarer original 1970’s issue boots.
As you will appreciate, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this or looking at the listing, the nature of many of these live/unofficial recordings meant that original production standards were not necessarily a top priority, with occasional mastering/pressing faults occurring.
Similarly with any second hand vinyl which in some cases is almost 50 years old they will potentially exhibit aural signs of having been played, sometimes a fair bit..these are not mint, new unplayed discs (unless stated).
The attraction for my Dad was either obtaining the different variations of an issue or otherwise unavailable rare recordings…its called collecting!
When playing vinyl my Dad had a Technics SL1800 turntable with Ortfon cartridge, so no thrashing and grinding on an old fidelity UA4! (early 70’s starter bedroom lo-fi, crank it up ?).
Any questions or if you need more photos please ask.
If you have any issues please contact me before leaving feedback as my intention is to give you the e-bay buying experience that I myself would want, i.e. customer satisfaction all round.
