Affinity
self titled first and only album at the time they existed !!!!

FIRSTLY I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN ABOUT THIS RARE ALBUM !!!! AFFINITY WITH SINGER LINDA HOYLE WHO WERE FORMED IN BRIGHTON ENGLAND, AND WERE A PROG ROCK, JAZZ ROCK, BLUES ROCK FUSION BAND, AND ONLY LASTED FROM 1968 TO 1972, WHEN THEY MADE JUST ONE VERY RARE ALBUM, AND ONE OF THOSE IS LISTED BELOW, AND PLAYS FANTASTIC !!!! SINGER LINDA HOYLE THEN MADE HER ONLY SOLO ALBUM, IN 1971 CALLED, "PIECES OF ME", ALSO ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL, AND ONLY 300 COPIES OF, "PIECES OF ME" WERE ISSUED, SO MAKING IT ONE OF THE RAREST ALBUMS OUT THERE !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1970 UK EARLIEST 1ST PRESS :: 6360004  1Y//2   1 1 2  ::  6  3  6  004  BV1   1 1 2 .
THIS IS THE EARLIEST WITH  1 1 2 / 1 1 2, IN THE RUN OFFS AND NOT NEXT, 1 1 3 / 1 1 3 !!!!
ON THE 1ST PRESS LARGE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL :: 6360 004 .

COVER ::  ORIGINAL FIRST PRESS GATEFOLD AND IN LOVELY CLEAN AND SOLID CONDITION, WITH JUST SOME BITS OF VERY LIGHT RUB ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A SMALL RUB ON THE CORNERS, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP. THERE IS ONE LONG AND TWO SHORT THIN FAINT SCRATCH LINES ON THE BACK AND ARE LITERALLY SEEN ONLY WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY, SO YOU MIGHT NOT EVEN SEEN THEM IF I HAD NOT MENTIONED THEM. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD NO ISSUES, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE A VERY NICE CLEAN AND SOLID  ::  EX/EX- . 

VINYL :: PLAYS SUPERB WITH NOTHING NASTY ON THE AUDIO, AND DUE TO HOW RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTABLE THIS ALBUM IS, I WOULD NORMALLY DO A TRACK BY TRACK AUDIO DESCRIPTION, BUT NO NEED TO ON THIS VINYL AS THERE ARE ONLY TWO TRACKS I HAVE TO MENTION....

ON SIDE 1 :: JUST BEAUTIFUL AUDIO !!!!

ON SIDE 2 :: AT THE START OF TRACK 1 THERE ARE SOME VERY FAINT HARD TO HEAR TICKS, NOTHING INTRUSIVE, AND ON TRACK 3, JUST THREE FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START, SO SUPERB AUDIO.

TO BE HONEST I AM GOING TO SPLIT THE AUDIO GRADE, SO...

ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 1, AND ALL TRACKS ON SIDE 2, EXCEPT FOR TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+ .

TRACK 1 ON SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: VG+/EX- . AND THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME VERY FAINT TICKS AT THE START OF THE TRACK, AND NOTHING NASTY !!!! 

VISUALLY, NOTHING NASTY OR FEELABLE, BUT THERE ARE QUITE A LOT OF COSMETICS SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT.

SIDE 1 HAS SOME COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND A FEW SMALL COSMETIC HAIRLINES .

SIDE 2 HAS MORE COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES COMPARED TO SIDE 1, AND ALSO SOME MORE COSMETIC SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED HAIRLINES, AND THREE SMALL THIN COSMETIC SCUFFS, AND HONESTLY NOTHING FEELABLE AS MENTIONED, SO BASICALLY THEY JUST HAVE A VISUAL EFFECT UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND NO WAY AN AUDIO EFFECT, SO IF YOU ARE HAPPY ABOUT THE VISUAL, THEN YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED WHEN YOU HEAR THE AUDIO, THANK YOU !!!!

LABELS :: JUST A FEW FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT :: EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL 1970 SWIRL POLYLINED INNER :: NO SEAM SPLITS, OR WRITING, JUST SOME LIGHT AGEING AND A CREASE LINE DOWN THE CENTRE ON BOTH SIDES :: VG . THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE

A RARE EARLIEST UK 1ST PRESS VERTIGO SWIRL WITH BEAUTIFUL AUDIO, AND THERE ARE SOME COSMETICS AS MENTIONED ABOVE, BUT OVER ALL IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS AMAZING AND AS DESCRIBED, AND FULLY COMPLETE !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE.
