IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
FIRST 1973 PRESS A1/B1
WITH THE MOST AMAZING SLEEVE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THIS LP
- CATALOGUE:POLYDOR 2383-230
- MATRIX:2383230 A//1 1 1 1 4 / B//1 1 1 5
ONE OF A SET OF THREE IMMACULATE RORY GALLAGHER ALBUMS THAT I HAVE UP FOR AUCTION AT THIS TIME. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS TATTOO FROM 1973.
I PROMISE THERE IS NOT A BETTER COPY ON THE MARKET, AND THIS SLEEVE IS JUST INCREDIBLE!!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR STAIN ON THEM. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE TWO SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON SIDE 2 OF THE LABEL AND NONE WHATSOEVER ON SIDE ONE, MEANING THAT SIDE ON OF THE DISC HAS HAD TWO PLAYS WHILST SIDE 2 HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED
THE VINYL
THE DISC GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND HAS CLEARLY LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IT IS UNMARKED AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF WISPY HAILRINES
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 FOUR COMPLETE TRACKS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE.
I HAVE TRIED TO RECORD SOME OF THE QUIETER MOMENTS OF MUSIC AS WELL TO DEMONSTRATE THE BRILLIANCE OF THIS DISC. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
THERE IS JUST NOTHING TO HEAR APART FROM THE SUPERB WORK OF RORY GALLAGHER. NO CLICKS OR POPS, AND CERTAINLY NO BACKGROUND NOISE OR CRACKLE. IT IS STAGGERRING TO FIND NOT ONLY THIS LP BUT THE OTHER TWO GALLAGHER ALBUMS IN THIS HIGHEST OF GRADES POSSIBLE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
FIRST PRESS JAMES UPTON SLEEVE
I HAVE SEEN MANY COPIES OF THIS ALBUM OVER THE YEARS. INDEED IT IS MY FAVOURITE GALLGHAR ALBUM, BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT THIS SLEEVE WILL NEVER EVER BE BETTERED.
I HONESTLY CANNOT BELIEVE JUST HOW IMMACULETE THIS SLEEVE IS, AS IT IS MADE FROM THIN POROUS TEXTURED CARD, AND EVERY COPY I HAVE SEE HAS HAD ONE OR A COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS
- TEARS
- PAPER SCUFFS
- SERIOUS STAINS
- FRAYED EDGES
- RING WEAR
- SPLIT SEAMS
- TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES WORN THROUGH
- OPENING EDGE FRAYED AND SPLIT
- CREASES
THIS IS JUST MINT!!!
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO MARKS, STAINS, CREASES, CREASE LINES, DENTS, DINGS OR RUBBING. NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE TO THE PAPER OR TEXTURED SURFACE. THERE IS ONE NEAR INVISIBLE TINY TINY LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER
THE SPINE IS AN INCREDIBLE 'FLAT SHAPE' AGAIN NORMALLY FOUND CRUSHED. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. I HAVE JUST NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND NOT EVEN ONE THUMB NAIL NICK ALONG THE EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS INCREDIBLE AS THE FRONT
THE REASON FOR ALL OF THIS IS THAT IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND CAREFULLY STORED. ADDED TO THE FACT THAT THE VINYL HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED AND YOU HAVE THE PERFECT SLEEVE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT !!!!!
AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING COPY OF THIS GREAT ALBUM, AND WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
