Description
THIS IS A 1ST , UK DECCA PRESSING WITH 'ORIGINAL RECORDING...' LABEL TEXT W/B AND BLUE, SCALLOPED SLEEVE. SLEEVE: OBVIOUSLY WORN AND WITH A SMALL REPAIR TO SCUFF AT BOTTOM RIGHT. SOME RINGWEAR AND LIGHT DISCOLOURATION BUT INTACT FLIP-BACKS. A LITLE CORNER BUMPING, THOUGH SPINE IS FINE. (IT'S ALL IN THE PHOTOS)!! WORN CLEARLY BUT NOT RUINED!
DISC. A-SIDE: VG TO VG+. PLAYS FINE DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS/HAIRLINES ETC. STILL HAS SHEEN AND THE CLARITY IS ABSOLUTELY FINE. YES, THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE BUT NOT DETRIMENTAL TO THE OVERALL QUALITY. NO SKIPS/JUMPS AND NO HEAVY POPPING OR TICS!
B-SIDE: VG. NOTICEABLE MARKS AND ONE LONG SCUFF/HAIRLINES. A FEW MINUTES IN THERE IS A LIGHT BUT NOTICEABLE TIC FOR AROUND 20 SECONDS. THIS IS NOT HEAVY AND PLAYS THROUGH. OTHER THAN THAT, IT PLAYS WELL AND IMPROVES MARKEDLY FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE SIDE. YES, AGAIN THERE IS SOME SURFACE/BACKGROUND NOISE BUT IT DOESN'T POP LOUDLY AND THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. STILL HAS SHEEN (SEE PHOTOS) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...THE CLARITY IS WELL MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT.
INNER SLEEVE IS CORRECT AND PRESENT AND WITH JUST LIGHT CREASING.
LABELS ARE FINE. (SEE PHOTOS).
FIRST AND FOREMOST; I AM A COLLECTOR OF MANY YEARS AND ALSO SELL. I WOULDN'T SELL ANYTHING THAT IS OVERHYPED BY WAY OF CONDITION. THIS SET OBVIOUSLY HAS FLAWS BUT IS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE VG WITH NO JUMPS AND NOTHING THAT IS SO HARSH AS TO RAISE AN EYEBROW. ACCEPTABLE SURFACE NOISE WITH DECENT CLARITY. THE LIGHT TIC ON SIDE 2 IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS OF ANY REAL NOTICE DESPITE THE OBVIOUS VISUAL MARKS. ONE LONG SCUFF LOOKS NOT GOOD BUT IN ACTUAL FACT, PLAYS THROUGH FINE. BLESS THOSE DECCA PRESSINGS! FOR THE MONEY....YOU'LL PROBABLY BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
ANY ISSUES??? MONEY BACK. SHIPPING: UK £3.50 EUROPE: £8.00 REST OF WORLD; ASIA ETC £13.00
