THE FLIRTATIONS - NOTHING BUT A HEARTACHE
CW: CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE AGAIN
ORIGINAL DERAM UK PRESSING
PLAYS TO AN EXCELLENT PLUS GRADE
THIS IS ONE OF A NUMBER OF VERY COLLECTIBLE SINGLES I CURRENTLY HAVE UP FOR AUCTION, ALL OF WHICH ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND SOME EXTREMELY RARE
CATALOGUE NUMBER:DERAM DM 216
MATRIX NUMBER:DR42677 TI-1C / 43557 TI-1C
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE TAN AND WHITE LABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE MARK ON EITHER OF THEM, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PRISTINE.
2-3 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL SHINES LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL SHEEN IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND SOME ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINES
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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN THE DEAD WAX AND IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PARTS
I HEARD 1-2 TINY TICS THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE EXCELLENT PLUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION. JUST A LITTLE HANDLING
NO SPLITS TO THE SEAMS AND A PERFECT DIE CUT HOLE
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS IDENTICAL TO THE FRONT
SOME LIGHT AGEING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
