SIMON FINN - PASS THE DISTACE
ORIGINAL RARE 1971 UK LP ON MUSHROOM
SLEEVE INCLUDES THE INSERT SHEET
- CATALOGUE:MUSHROOM 100MR2
- MATRIX: 100 MR2 A-4E / B-3E
FULLY PLAY TESTED PRIOR TO LISTING
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BROWN AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION.
UNBLEMISHED COLOURS WHICH FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL STILL HAS A LOVELY SHEEN
IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS VERY DECENT
THERE IS ONE OBVIOUS NON FEELABLE HANDLING LINE ACROSS SOME OF SIDE ONE (SEE PICS)
THIS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A NEEDLE SKATING ACROSS THE SURFACE. IT IS HOWEVER NON FEELABLE
WHEN PLACED UNDER SPOTLIGHTS ALL I SEE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND SOME VERY LIGHT DULL SPECKLES
THE TEST PLAY
THE INCREDIBLE STEREO SOUND COMES THROUGH CRISP AND CLEAR ON ALL TRACKS, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF DISTORTION
THIS IS IMPORTANNT AS IT MEANS THAT THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR
ALSO NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, NO HISS OR ANY OTHER EMBEDDED IRRITANT
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS SOME LIGHT LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND DURING THE SILENT PASSAGES OF THE EARLIER TRACKS
THERE ARE ALSO A NUMBER OF TICS AND POPS (SOME ROTATIONAL) DURING THE PLAY, BUT THESE TOO ARE MOSTLY IN THE EARLIER TRACKS
SO IN SUMMARY THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT MAJOR FLAWS, BUT DOES HAVE SOME MINOR ISSUES
A VERY RARE LP HOWEVER
THE AUDIO FOR ME GRADES VG+ / EX (SIDE 2)
BUT YOU SHOULD MAKE THE JUDGEMENT AFTER LISTENING
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE SHOWS SOME DAMP DAMAGE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER
SOME OF THE TOP SURFACE HAS BEEN PULLED AWAY AND THERE IS A STAIN COVERING THE CORNER
THE REST OF THE SURFACE SHOWS DEEP RICH COLOURS WITH JUST THE TINIEST BIT OF RING WEAR AT THE TOP AND A SMALL RED MARK IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE WAFER THIS TOP EDGE HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIP ENDS
THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A COUPLE OF TINY FLAKES IN THE RIGHT CORNER AND A LITTLE RUB TO THE LEFT CORNER TIP
THE SPINE IS JUST NEAR PERFECT. THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL WHITE AND THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS JUST THE TINIEST BIT OF FEATHJERING IN THE MIDDLE
THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE SHOWS THE STAIN FROM THE FRONT HAS SPREAD OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE AND UPWARDS ABOUT ONE INCH
THE TOP 3/4 IS IN SUPER CONDITION
THE INSERT SHEET SHOWS A LIGHT BROWN STAIN ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND ACREASE OVER THE TOP RIGHT CORNER
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE VG
THIS REALLY IS AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY OF THIS CLASSIC BLUES ALBUM, AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
