Description

Linda Hoyle:''Pieces of me''
Legendary original uk vertigo press of one of the rarest records on this highly collectable label along with Tudor Lodge,Catapilla and Dr.Z; amazing bluesy voice and freak-out guitars leaving place to intimate moments...some prefer Affinity but hey,I really love this record!!!
GRADING: Mint-Excellent-Very Good-Good with +/- (mint is never used unless the record really seems to be ''new'')
COVER: shows some signs of aging but still retains its original beauty and it's surely better than many other Linda's I've seen during these years; it would be an excellent cover but there is some wear on edges and some tiny pieces of the fragile cardboard sleeve near the spine have came off as usually happens with non-laminated covers;no tears or rips,comes with the original vertigo inner;VG+

VINYL A-side: still looks very nice and shiny under natural light but under strong light some hairlines and scuffs can be seen;plays well with some occasional crackling;EX B-side: more or less the same but on this side a slight scratch is more visible under light(really nothing serious);EX- Labels:EX

POSTAGE: please do not consider ebay's shipping rates but ask me,I'll try to answer as soon as possible; RETURNS: accepted; DISPATCH: within 3 days,usually earlier
Please contact me for details,pictures,questions...etc

THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!

Hi,I've been asked to tell something more about the visual description and the listening experience: as I said it still looks nice and has retained the majority of his original gloss but do not expect to be bidding on a perfect record otherwise I would have graded it as M- or EX+...there are some light scuffs and hairlines but the majority of them (all of them...) is only visibile against the light or under strong light.If you use Goldmine grading-I use record collector's-it would probably be a nice VG+.As for the listening,tomorrow I'm going to listen again to some parts mainly focusing on b-side.Thanks for asking!!!

Here I am again,so: the record plays throughout without jumps or skips,some background noise is audible and some slight clicks are detectable(neither loud nor in succession) on b-side.The scratch doesn't seem to cause other considerable defects;to conclude,the record is still fully enjoyable but would surely benefit from a professional cleaning.
