SO FINALLY HERE`S WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR:

ARTIST: AFFINITY

TITLE: SELFTITLED

LABEL: VERTIGO SWIRL 6360 004

COUNTRY: UK

YEAR: 1970

CONDITION:

COVER: UNLAMINATED MATT GATEFOLD. YOU WILL STRESS TO FIND BETTER!!! 1 SMALL VERY NEATLY COLOURED-IN TEAR ON FRONT BOTTOM RIGHT (see pic, only visible on close inspection) AND A SMALL CIRCULAR STICKER STAIN ON REAR visible on pic. LOOK AT THE PICTURES,SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! WITHOUT MENTIONED TEAR THIS WOULD EASILY GRADE NM-; I GIVE A HARSH EX

VINYL VISUAL: EXCELLENT

VINYL AUDIO: SOME FAINT DUST CRACKLING HERE AND THERE MOSTLY IN QUIET PASSAGES. NO SCRATCHES. HIGHLY ENJOYABLE KEEPER AUDIO! I THINK A FAIR AMOUNT OF THE CRACKLING MAY VANISH AFTER A PRO-CLEANING       NEAR EX  (without cleaning)

OTHER: ORIGINAL POLY LINED SWIRL INNER EX. SADLY A FORMER OWNER HAD TO WRITE ON LABELS see pics

SUMMARY / EXTRA INFO`S: WITHOUT ANY DOUBT ONE OF THE ABSOLUTE BEST SWIRL ALBUMS WITH THE FANTASTIC VOICE OF LINDA HOYLE!!! VERY NICE KEEPER!!

GOOD NEWS!!: THIS MORNING I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF SPARE TIME...I USED THIS TO VISIT A FRIEND OF MINE WHO RUNS A HIGH-END STUDIO IN A NEAR TOWN;HE OFFERS PROFESSIONAL IN-DEEP VINYL CLEANING ON A "DOUBLE MATRIX" CLEANING MACHINE. SO,I CLEANED THIS LP TWICE. AFTER THAT,I ASKED MY FRIEND TO PLAY IT ON ONE OF THE EQUIPMENTS IN HIS SHOWROOM...OK,WE LISTENED TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM (for the experts out there: TURNTABLE : HOLBORNE ANALOGUE 1 ; TONEARM: DUAL PIVOT ; PICK-UP: ORTOFON MC RONDO BLUE ; PRE-AMP: JEFF ROWLAND CONCERTO ; 2 MONO POWER-AMPS JEFF ROWLAND M-501 ; SPEAKERS: TRENNER & FRIEDEL "ELLA" ; CABLES: CARDAS GOLDEN REFERENCE. A TRUE DREAM EQUIPMENT,UNPAYABLE FOR ME!!),AND THE RESULT BLEW ME AWAY! THE ONLY THING I NOTICED WAS A MINIMAL AMOUNT OF SUPER-FAINT CRACKLES AT THE END OF "COCOANUT GROVE",IN THE GAP,AND AT THE BEGINNING OF "ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER" (a total of ca 20-30secs),NOT INTRUSIVE IN ANY WAY! THE REST PLAYED ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! HOME AGAIN,I PLAYED IT ONCE MORE ON MY AVERAGE EQUIPMENT WITH VERY MUCH THE SAME RESULT!

SUMMARY: APART FROM THE (almost invisible) TEAR ON COVER-FRONT AND THE WRITINGS ON LABELS THIS COPY IS DOUBTLESSLY IN A FINAL UPGRADE CONDITION FOR MOST!!! TOP AUDIO!!!

I COULDN`T RESIST TO MENTION THIS GOOD NEWS! THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!!
