ONLY VERY FIRST PRESSES OF THIS EARLY ROD STEWART ALBUM HAD THE BLACK MERCURY LABELS. THE REISSUES ALL HAD THE STANDARD BLUE LABEL. IT WAS SHORTLY AFTER THIS LP WAS RELEASED THAT MERCURY CHANGED THEIR DESIGN
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS, AND A BASE COLOUR THAT IS UNBROKEN AS IT STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH SHOWS JUST 3-4 SMALL SPIDER LINES PROVING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS VINYL HAS BEEN PLAYED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE LOGOS ARE UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
Gleaming first press vinyl without any marks or scratches. under intense illiumination there are a few wispy lines.
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE THE QUALITY FOR YOURSELF. THERE IS A LITTLE VERY LIGHT STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS, AND A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS HERE AND THERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
VERY OFTEN FOUND DOG EARRED, BUT HERE WE HAVE AN ALMOST MINT FIRST ISSUE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS NON LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN INCREDIBLE CONDITION. FIRSTLY THERE IS NO LOSS OF COLOUR ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE AS THIS HAS BEEN KEPT HOUSED IN PLASTIC FROM NEW. THERE ARE NO CREASES WHATSOEVER ON THIS SURFACE EITHER, NOT EVEN THE SMALL ONES YOU WOULD USUALLY FIND NEAR THE EDGES. THIS AS YOU WILL PROBABLY KNOW IS A TOP OPENING SLEEVE WITH A FRONT AND BACK SURFACE HINGED TO THE TOP EDGE, MAKING IT LOOK MORE LIKE A CALENDAR THAN A RECORD ALBUM. THE CORNERS OF THIS VERY FLIMSY FRONT SURFACE ARE THE ONLY AREAS THAT SHOW A LITTLE WEAR IN THE FORM OF TINY DENTS. THE REAR SURFACE IS INEXACTLY THE SAME SUPER CONDITION AS THE FRONT. OPENING THE FRONT FLAP REVEALS THE STADIUM SHOTS AND AGAIN WE HAVE A PRISTINE UNBLEMISHED PAIR OF SURFACES. THE REAR FLAP WHEN OPENED REVEALS THE GOALMOUTH SCENE AND YET AGAIN IT IS ALL IN SUPERB CONDITION.
A MAGNIFICENT UNWORN EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND FULLY JUSTIFIES A NEAR MINT GRADE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
