Description
COMPLEX ORIGINAL 1971 VINYL LP. ONLY 99 WERE PRIVATELY PRESSED. MADE IN SCOTLAND. A HOLY GRAIL OF BRITISH PSYCH/PROG/US GARAGE TYPE SOUND.
MATRIX SIDE 1 - TD6869 AMATRIX SIDE 2 - TD6869 B
SLEEVE MATRIX - CLPM 001
SLEEVE IN GOOD CONDITION. THIN CARD, ONLY HELD TOGETHER AT ONE END AS I BELIEVE THESE WERE MADE SLIGHTLY TO SMALL TO HOUSE THE RECORD SO THE BOTTOM AND SPINE HAS SPLIT AND IS NOW ONLY HELD TOGETHER AT THE TOP EDGE. THE FRONT HAS NO MARKS AND THE DEEP ORANGE COLOUR IS STILL STRONG WITH NO FADING. THE REAR HAS FAINT PENCIL OR PEN MARKED ROUND 3 OF THE SIDE 1 TRACK LISTING (SEE SCAN). THIS MIGHT BE REMOVABLE WITH A RUBBER BUT LEAVE THAT UP TO ANY BUYER. THE LETTER E IS ALSO WRITTEN IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER BY THE MANAGEMENT ADDRESS IN WHAT LOOKS LIKE PEN? OTHER THAN THAT IT'S QUITE CLEAN FOR ITS AGE.
INNER WHITE POLY LINED SLEEVE VERY GOOD CONDITION. DON'T KNOW IF ORIGINAL OR NOT?
THE VINYL LABELS HAVE NO WRITING AND LOOK BOLD AND STRONG BUT DO SHOW SOME SPINDLE MARKS HELD TO THE LIGHT.
THE VINYL IS FLAT WITH NO WARPS. HAS HAIRLINE AND SURFACE MARKS ON BOTH SIDES. A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES ARE NOTICEABLE TO THE TOUCH SO WOULD ONLY GRADE AS MAYBE GOOD, GRADING IS SO SUBJECTIVE. THE ENTIRE PRESSING WAS MANUFACTURED VERY CHEAPLY AND THEREFORE HAS A NOISY, LO-FI SOUND ANYWAY BUT WILL TRY TO GIVE AN ACCURATE DISCRIPTION OF THIS COPIES PLAYBACK.
ALTHOUGH BOTH SIDES PLAY THROUGH WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS THERE IS NOTICEABLE CRACKLE WITH SOME CLICKS ON THE FIRST 3 TRACKS OF SIDE 1 BUT THE FINAL 3 TRACKS OF SIDE 1 PLAY WITH MUCH LESS AUDIBLE DISTRACTIONS AND ARE VERY ENJOYABLE.
SIDE 2 HAS NOTICEABLE CRACKLE AND CLICKS ON THE FIRST 3 TRACKS. SOME VERY NOTICEABLE POPS ON TRACK 2! THE FINAL 2 TRACKS PLAY VERY WELL WITH NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT WITH MUCH LESS AUDIBLE DISTRACTIONS AND ARE VERY ENJOYABLE.
PLEASE BID WITH THESE ISSUES IN MIND. THIS IS ONLY A GOOD (MAYBE FAIR PLUS TO SOME) COPY OF THIS INCREDIBLELY RARE RECORD WHICH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION CAN SELL FOR THOUSANDS. THE VINYL FOR SALE HERE IS NOT EXCELLENT BUT IS AT LEAST PLAYABLE AND ONLY OFFERED IN THIS CONDITION DUE TO ITS AMAZING RARITY.
UK POSTAGE ONLY!I DO NOT OFFER INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
