WINGS - BAND ON THE RUN
IN VERY GOOD 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!!
THE RECORD
LABELS = VERY GOOD / NEAR MINT
THE APPLE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE LOOKS PRETTY MUCH UNWORN.
VINYL = VERY GOOD / NEAR MINT
A BEAUTIFUL VINYL, THAT GLEAMS LIKE NEW. TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE THIS RECORD WAS NOT PLAYED OFTEN IF AT ALL.
PLAYING THE RECORD
I HAVE LISTENED TO THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH JUST ONCE ON A HIGH END HI-FI (REGA PLANER & NAIM AUDIO) AND I DIDN'T HEAR A SINGLE POP OR SCRATCH. 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 NONE. WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A VERY VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE PRESS.
THE SLEEVE = GOOD FOR AGE
IN SUMMARY, A GOOD SLEEVE SHOWING SIGNS OF ITS AGE BUT GENERALLY IN GOOD CONDITION.
THIS RECORD WAS RELEASED IN A NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE WHICH OFTEN 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, THE SPINE WORDING IS ALSO ON THE TOP EDGE AND THE COLOUR OF THE SLEEVE IS A LIGHTER SHADE OF 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 OF THE RECORD DOES HAVE SOME CREASING, MARKING AND RING WEAR. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS. I THINK THE PHOTOS MAKE THE CREASING LOOK WORSE THAN IT IS DUE TO THE BLACK SLEEVE. NONE OF THE CREASES ID DUE TO A FULL CREASE TO THE COVER. IN OTHER WORDS THE SPINES HAVE NOT BEEN BENT. MINOR HAIRLINE SPINE CREASING. THE BLACK BODY OF THE COVER IS VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO MARKING AND ON THE LEFT SIDE THERE IS A THIN HAIRLINE INDENT SCRATCH (THIS IS WHEN ONE CHECKS THE SURFACE VERY CAREFULLY - THIS MARK IS SO MINOR IT DOESN"T EVEN SHOW UP IN THE PHOTOS). THE SLEEVE OPENING HAS THE USUAL MARKS FROM RECORD REMOVAL. THE NIMBUS STICKER IS FIRMLY AFFIXED TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS BETTER THAN THE FRONT WITH MINOR CREASING AND RING WEAR.
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS THE ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH, 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 NEAR MINT CONDITION, ONE MINOR LIGHT SURFACE MARK 2 CM ON THE RIGHT SIDE. NO CREASES OR WRINKLES.
AN OUTSTANDING INVESTMENT GRADE CONDITION OF A VERY RARE COLLECTIBLE.
