RORY GALLAGHER - DEFENDER

IN EXCELLENT PLUS  CONDITION

FIRST AND ONLY PRESS WITH THE FREE BONUS SINGLE

 

  • CATALOGUE:DEMON  FEIND 98
  • MATRIX: DMB8544 A-1 / DMB 8544 B-1

 

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF RORY GALLAGHER AND YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS 1987 LP, THEN YOU ARE ARGUABLY MISSING OUT ON THE BEST ALBUM HE EVER MADE. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB ALBUM. HIS PENULTIMATE ALBUM RELEASED ON THE LITTLE KNOWN DEMON LABEL. THIS LP INCLUDED A BONUS 7" SINGLE

 

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE RED AND GREY DEMON LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITON. THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE IS EVEN SOME RESIDUE VINYL SHARDS STUCK TO THE HOLE ON SIDE ONE, SHOWING HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST 1-2 SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTER AND LOOKS GREAT. THERE IS ONE VERY VERY FINE HANDLING LINE WHICH IS SURFACE ONLY AND CAN BARELY BE SEEN. DOESN'T AFFECT THE PLAY HOWEVER. THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES WHEN THE LP IS OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION

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 TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE

THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THOUGH BOTH SIDES, DESPITE THE POOR QUALITY OF THE 1987 VIONYL IN COMPARISON TO THE EARLY 70'S POLYDOR RECORDINGS. THERE IS SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND WHICH CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN THE QUIETEST OF PLACES, NAMELY BETWEEN SOME OF THE TRACKS, BUT TAKE A GOOD LISTEN BECAUSE I HAVE RECORDED IT ALL IN THE 4 SOUND BITES, AND THIS IS A TRUE REFLECTION OF THE ENTIRE LP

WHAT LITTLE STATIC THERE IS IS RESTRICTED AS PREVIOUSLY SAID TO THE QUIET SPOTS, BUT EVEN THEN ONLY SEEMS TO BE DURING THE FIRST TWO TRACKS ON EACH SIDE. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW RANDOM LITTLE POPS HERE AND THERE

HAVING SAID ALL OF THIS THE LP PLAYS SUPERBLY, AND I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE IT EXCELLENT PLUS

 

THE 7" INCH BONUS SINGLE THAT CAME WITH THE ORIGINAL SET HAS THE FOLLOWING TWO TRACKS

SEEMS TO ME / NO PEACE FOR THE WICKED

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT

 

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

THIS IS AN UNLAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURING, AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL LMAIES CLOSE TO THE PERIMETER EDGES, AND A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE VISIBLE ONLY IF YOU ANGLE THE COVER INTO THE LIGHT

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ABSOLUTE MINIMAL SHELF WEAR, HARDLY WORHT MENTIONING, BUT JUST A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS SHOWING THROUGH

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE MINIMAL SHELF WEAR.

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND CLEAN AND AGAIN IS UNRUBBED, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE 

THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE RAZOR SHARP CONDITION,

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN  AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO COLOUR LOOS, BENDS, CREASES

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS A PICTURE ON ONE SIDE WITH THE LYRICS ON THE OTHER. IT IS UNSPLIT ALONG THE SEAMS AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND APART FROM THE VERY LIGHTEST CREASE LINE IS IN UNSPLIT AND NEAR PERFECT CONDITION

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS

 

 

 

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
