THIS IS THE THRID COPY I HAVE SOLD OF THIS ALBUM IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS BUT THIS ONE JUST BEGGARS BELIEF.A TRULY UNPLAYED FIRST PRESS WITH A SLEEVE THAT IS TOTALLY PRISTINE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES ROUND THE HOLE, . THERE ARE STILL SHARD OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE FROM THE ORIGINAL PRESS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS JUST PRISTINE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE,EXCEPT FOR A TINY AND I DO MEAN BARELY VISIBLE HANDLING LINE, ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A BULB AND NOT IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE, BARELY A WISPY HAIRLINE AT ALL. IT JUST HAS NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE. IT GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW ALBUM
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 WAS IN TWO MINDS WHETEHR OR NOT TO PLAY THIS, BUT AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES UNPLAYED DOES NOT MEAN MINT!!1, AND SO I HAVE GIVEN THIS INCREDIBLE DISC ONE VERY CAREFUL PLAY WITH THE LIGHTEST TRACKING ON THE STYLUS POSSIBLE.
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 TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE
THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO HEAR APART FROM THE BRILLIANCE OF RORY GALLAGHER
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHAT GOES THROUGH MANUFACTURERS MINDS WHEN THEY PRODUCE AN ALBUM SLEEVE. THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE FLIMSIEST SLEEVES I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT IS MADE FROM THE THINNEST CARD THAT IT COULD BE. IT HASN'T BEEN LAMINATED TO STRENGTHEN IT, AND TO FINALLY ENSURE THAT NOT MANY SURVIVED IN GOOD CONDITION, THEY DECIDED TO TEXTURE IT. GOOD GRIEF!!!
INCREDIBLY THIS SLEEVE HAS REMAINED IN A MINT CONDITION FROM NEW, THANKS TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S DECISION TO PLACE IT IMMEDIATELY IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS, OR CREASES OF ANY DESCRIPTION. THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS OR RUBBING AT ALL, AND NO RINGWEAR.THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON ANY PART OF THIS SLEEVE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR AT ALL, AND NOR DOES THE FLIMSY SPINE WHICH IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED.
THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE RAZOR SHARP CONDITION
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AND PRISTINE AS THE FRONT, MAKING THIS A MARVELLOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE.
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION, AND THE FACT THAT IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED JUST SHOWS WHY THIS LP IS IN MINT CONDITION. IT JUST HASN'T BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
