THE 1967 DEBUT ALBUM FROM SAVOY BROWN, AND THE SUPERB STEREO PRESSING. 1967 SAW THE BIGGEST TURNAROUND FROM MONO TO STEREO RECORDINGS AND THE BRITISH PUBLIC WERE KEEN TO SAMLE THE NEW STEREO SOUND AS SYSTEMS HAD NOW BECOME MORE AFFORDABLE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE UNBOXED LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO BARELY VISIBLE SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN SUPERB CONDITION, REALLY GLOSSY AND NOT DULL LIKE MOST WORN OUT COPIES.
IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS SUPERB AND TOTALLY FLAWLESS
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I COULD MAKE OUT JUST A FEW LITTLE WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL LINES
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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM DOING WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WILL LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AMDELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THIS STEREO RECORDING IS JUST ASTOUNDING, LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL
THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT DISTORTION WHATSOEVER AND IT PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO CLICKS
NO MORE THAN A THE ODD SPECK OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND JUST ONE TIC IN ONE OF THE LINKING GROOVES ON SIDE ONE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE THAT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE
AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VIRTUALLY UNBLEMISHED CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH IS USUALLY CREASED ALL OVER, ON THIS COPY IS REALLY SUPERB. THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS RICH DEEP SHINE TO IT.
THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES WHATSOEVER, AND NO BENDS DINGS OR FOLDS EITHER. THERE ARE FOUR TINY LITTLE LAMINATE LINES DOWN THE SPINE, TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR.ALL FOUR CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY SHARP WITH A LIGHT WAVE AND A COUPLE OF TINY BURRS AT THE TOP
THE SPINE IS ONCE AGAIN FULLY LAMINATED, NO PEEL OR FLAKE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, IT IS TOTALLY FLAT AND IMMACULATE, CANNOT BE BETTERED
THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE. USUALLY THESE ARE FOUND VERY VERY GRUBBY INDEED. NOT THIS ONE. IT ONLY HAS THE MOST MINUSCULE HANDLING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES. AND A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE
THE BLUE AND WHITE DECCA INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, FLAT AND UNCREASED WITH A FEW SPOTS OF GLUE AGEING
THIS SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
