WIZARD - SWZA5501
Steve Gibbons - Short stories
Description: Original UK 1971 stereo pressing w. textured gatefold sleeve and original printed insert
This rare and prized debut album from the Brummie blues legend is in fine condition overall (see description to follow), and would make a great addition to the collection of any rock or blues lover. The following description uses UK 'Record Collector' gradings (given below for reference).
---Vinyl - EX > Visually looks beautifully clean and shiny as you will see from the pictures, with just a couple of very faint surface marks visible under strong light. A test play, using headphones, reveals minimal surface noise, only really noticeable between tracks or on the very quietest sections...barely noticeable overall, and certainly doesn't spoil the music at any point. Occasional minor clicks and pops, but nothing that should really distract you from the great songwriting and playing on display here.
Sleeve - VG > Lovely textured sleeve is basically in very good condition, with some wear and tear to the edges and corners, which may be expected, but mostly nothing more than 'rubbing' on the very edges, except for the top right of the right hand part of the gatefold, where there is a split of approx. 2 inches along the top edge. Other than that the front and rear pictures themselves are still bright and colourful and look great. Inside of gatefold is in great condition, but has a small sticker top left
Insert - EX > Printed lyric insert is in excellent shape.
