WINGS - BAND ON THE RUN
IN MAGNIFICENT ONE PLAY EVER!!! CONDITION
THE RARE NIMBUS SUPERCUT PRESS
- CATALOGUE:APPLE PAS 1007
- MATRIX: YEX 929-A1 / 929-B1
- ' NIMBUS ENGLAND ' STAMPED INTO DEAD WAX
THE NIMBUS SUPERCUT ISSUE OF THIS ALBUM WAS ONLY MADE AVAILABLE TO READERS OF HI-FI TODAY MAGAZINE. IT WAS MASTERED AND PRESSED EXCLUSIVELY AND IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN ALBUM FOR AUDIOPHILES.
I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE LP HAS THE CLARITY OF A COMPACT DISC WITH THE WARMTH AND DEPTH THAT YOU ONLY GET FROM VINYL. IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST EVER RECORDING OF BAND ON THE RUN!!
EVEN IF YOU DON'T NEED THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION, TAKE A LISTEN TO THE CLARITY AND REPRODUCTION THAT A NIMBUS VINYL CAN PRODUCE. IT'S QUITE ASTOUNDING
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND STILL HAS SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE FROM THE FACTORY PRESSING MACHINE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE SHOWING THE ONE CAREFUL PLAY THIS UNIQUE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED, AND EVEN THAT COULD ONLY BE SEEN WITH THE HELP OF A MAGNIFYING GLASS
THE VINYL
A BEAUTIFUL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, THAT GLEAMS LIKE NEW. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED.
IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE AT ALL
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO NOW WITH ALL OF MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THIS ALBUM AT ITS VERY BEST, THEN THERE IS NO BETTER PRESSING THAN THE NIMBUS PRESSING. THE QUALITY AFFORDED THE PRODUCTION AND CUTTING IS SECOND TO NOTHING ELSE
THE BETTER THE EQUIPTMENT, THE BETTER THE REPRODUCTION WITHOUT A DOUBT
WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS AN ABSOLUTELY MINT EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE PRESS. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS TOUCHES THE VINYL YOU ARE IN FOR AN AUDIO TREAT. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, NO BACKGROUND NOISES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, JUST THE POUREST SOUND THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD FROM BAND ON THE RUN.
CRYSTAL CLEAR AND EVERY NOTE HEARD TO IT'S ABSOLUTE BEST. THERE IS NOTHING TO MAR THE PERFORMANCE WHATSOEVER
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM ANYWHERE, AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THIS IS A SLEEVE THAT DESPITE BEST INTENTIONS SUFFERS BADLY FROM COLOUR LOSS, RING WEAR AND SEVERE CREASING DUE TO THE THIN CARD THAT WAS USED TO MAKE IT, THUS FINDING A GREAT SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO DO.
INCIDENTALLY THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO TELL IF YOU OWN A FIRST PRESS SLEEVE. SIMPLY THE SPINE WORDING IS ALSO ON THE TOP EDGE.AND THE COLOUR OF THE SLEEVE IS A LIGHTER SHADE OPF BROWN THAN THE LATER ISSUES, ALSO THE MUCH LATER ISSUES ALSO HAVE A SEMI LAMINATED FEEL TO THEM WHERAS THE ORIGINALS DO NOT
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND IT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS THEREFORE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY, WHICH MEANS THAT NOT ONE JOT OF THE DELICATE BROWN SURFACE HAS RUBBED AWAY AND MOST INCREDIBLE OF ALL IS THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN A LITTLE RECORD SHAPE
THERE ARE ALSO NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. NO DINGS TO THE CORNERS EITHER.
THERE ARE SOME MINUSCULE LINES ALONG THE SPINE AND TOP EDGE, BUT THESE ARE SO LIGHT THAT THEY HAVE NOT FORMED WHITE LINES LIKE MOST DO, AND THUS THE INTEGRITY OF THE BROWN SURFACE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED
THE NIMBUS STICKER IS FIRMLY AFFIXED TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AGAIN A SIGN OF UNTIMATE PROTECTION.AS MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING. THE TOP EDGE MUST ALSO HAVE THE SPINE WORDING, WHICH THIS ONE DOES AND IT IS IS PRISTINE UNRUBBED PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNWORN, FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR UNRUBBED, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP,WITH JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE THUMB NAIL NICK AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED IN A ONE PLAY STATE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT , AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO RING WEAR. ONE TINY INSIGNIFICANT LINE ACROSS THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS THE ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH, AND SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN ON A BAND ON THE RUN INNER. IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER IT HAS THE FOLLOWING TEXT. 1973 MPL COMMUNICATIONS INC. ALL OTHER COPIES HAVE EMI TEXT.
ALSO JUST AFTER THE CATALOGUE NUMBER THERE IS THE NUMBER ONE IN BRACKETS.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS IN TOTALLY MINT CONDITON, BECAUSE THE LP WAS PLACED INTO A SOUND LAB ANTISTATIC MASTER SLEEVE AS SOON AS IT WAS OBTAINED WHICH HAS PRESERVED THE INNER COMPLETELY. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK OR WRINKLE ON IT
THE LARGE POSTER IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
AN OUTSTANDING INVESTMENT GRADE CONDITION COLLECTIBLE THAT WILL NEVER NEED TO BE UPGRADED FROM!!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
