Description
YOU ARE LOOKING AT AN ORIGINAL COPY OF LINDA HOYLE`S PIECES OF ME LP.
ORIGINAL PRESSING FROM 1971 ON THE LEGENDARY VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL-VO 6360 060.
THIS ALBUM REALLY IS A LOST CLASSIC.
AS MOST OF YOU WILL KNOW,LINDA WAS THE VOCALIST FROM FELLOW VERTIGO ACT "AFFINITY",WHOS SOLE ALBUM ALSO DESERVES FAR WIDER ACCLAIM.
THIS ALBUM WAS MADE SHORTLY AFTER THE DEMISE OF AFFINITY,AND FEATURES SOME TRUELY WORLD CLASS MUSICIANS INCLUDING THE MEMBERS OF THAT OTHER GREAT VERTIGO ACT "NUCLEUS",BUT ENOUGH OF THE WAFFLE.
SIDE 1:-
1.BACKLASH BLUES.
2.PAPER TULIPS.
3.BLACK CROW.
4.FOR MY DARLING.
5.PIECES OF ME.
SIDE 2:-
1.LONELY WOMAN.
2.HYMN TO VALERIE SOLANAS.
3.THE BALLAD OF MARTY MOLE.
4.JOURNEY`S END.
5.MORNING FOR ONE.
6.BARREL HOUSE MUSIC.
RECORD:-THE VINYL IS IN GREAT SHAPE.I CAN HAPPILY GRADE THIS AS TOTALLY EXCELLENT.IT ONLY JUST MISSES A MINT- GRADE DUE TO A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SURFACE MARKS THAT ARE ONLY VISIBLE UNDER A VERY BRIGHT LIGHT(100 WATT REFLECTER BULB).I HAVE PLAYED THE ALBUM IN IT`S ENTIRITY BEFORE LISTING,AND ON A VERY GOOD SYSTEM THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB WITH NO ISSUES WHATSOEVER,APPART FROM A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE ON THE RUN IN GROOVE(WHICH I OFTEN GET ON BRAND NEW LPs).THERE ARE NO POPS,CRACKLES OR ANY SUCH INTERFERENCE.
THE UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS ALSO A VERY STRONG EXCELLENT AND AGAIN ONLY JUST MISSES THE MINT- GRADE BECAUSE OF VERY SLIGHT WEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES,BUT THIS REALLY IS MINIMAL,AND IS TO BE EXPECTED OF AN UNLAMINATED COVER THAT IS 35 YEARS OLD.THERE ARE NO SCUFFS,CREASES,STICKER TEARS OR WRITING-THIS IS A NEAR PERFECT EXAMPLE.
BOTH LABELS ARE SUPERB,SHOWING ONLY A FEW LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS WHICH I REALLY DID HAVE TO LOOK HARD TO FIND.
COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL VERTIGO INNER OF WHICH I HAVE SEVERAL AND WILL CHOOSE THE BEST ONE FOR THIS RECORD.
ALL IN ALL THIS IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS EXTREMELY RARE RECORD,IT IS DOUBTFULL IF COULD FIND A BETTER COPY ANYWHERE THESE DAYS.
I HAVE DESCRIBED THIS RECORD AS HONESTLY AS POSSIBLE,BUT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS-I ALWAYS REPLY.
ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITH INSURANCE AT NO EXTRA COST TO THE WINNING BIDDER.
NO RESERVE AND A VERY LOW STARTING PRICE-GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR LOOKING.
