Description
TITLE: Tractor
ARTIST: Tractor LABEL: Dandelion
STEREO: NUMBER 2310 217 YEAR 1972
CONDITION OF VINYL: The vinyl would be classified as very good+. The record plays really well all the way through, apart from the first 50 seconds! There appears to be some water damage on the rim of one side of the record only. This has resulted in a click on the first track, "All Ends Up". This is really just on the intro, before the throaty guitar opening riff begins, so the enjoyment of the stunning opening is hardly affected at all. My descriptions are always as accurate as possible, so the purchaser will not be disappointed. Apart from that there are a few hairline scratches only, which have virtually no effect upon the quality of this superb item. The sound quality on the rest of this album is truly excellent - no pops or sticks, nothing!
CONDITION OF COVER: The cover would be classified as excellent. There is a small amount of ringwear, at the top of the back cover only. The spine is excellent, with all lettering fully in place. A very nice cover indeed!
COMMENTS : This is a very rare item indeed, especially in this sort of condition. Without the opening 50 second problem, this item would clearly be classified as excellent. Having just listened to the album again, it really is very special. Having spoken to Steve Clayton a couple of years ago, he mentioned the pride he and Jim Milne took in recording the album. This is absolutely obvious by the tremendous quality of the music throughout. John Peel's involvement with Dandelion has been well documented. Liverpool based Jim Milne's psychedelic whimsy is worthy of a place in any record collection. Thanks for the interest!
PACKAGING My vinyl is always very carefully packaged with inner stiffening to avoid the possibility of breakage. More expensive items will require a signature.This is such a case. British buyers will be asked to pay an additional £5 for postage. Please bid with absolute confidence.
All these gradings are very strict and follow the Record Collector price guide.
MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging may have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding,scuffing of edges,spine splits,discolouration,etc.
