9.30 FLY Ember Label Rare NR MINT UK ALBUM 1972
EMBER LABEL NR5062
Matrix Numbers – NR 5062 A1 (side one) and NR 5062 B1 (side two)
The Record is visually graded Mint Minus
The Record Labels are graded Mint
The Cover is graded Excellent (Please read the cover description regarding a manufacturing cover blemish).
All of my records are carefully visually graded under bright light and are fully play graded before auction.
This is the rare album by 9.30 fly on the Ember label. Copies do turn up on the odd occasion, but hardly ever at this grade.
Record
The vinyl appearance of this rare 33 year old record is amazing. There are absolutely no defects or marks worth mentioning at all. Under intense light I could make out just a couple of handling lines on each side but that was all. No scratches or scuffs, just beautiful shiny vinyl. The vinyl is visually graded Mint Minus.
Labels
The distinctive Ember record labels are perfect. No wear, marks, writing, spindle lines or spindle hole wear at all. Pristine condition. The labels are graded Mint.
Cover
The non-laminated UK printed gatefold cover is in fine condition and is graded Excellent. All gatefold edges and the spine are completely straight with just extremely light wear in a couple of places (so light in fact that it hardly deserves to be called wear at all). All corners are square with just the tiniest rubbing to the two spine corners (very minor). The rear cover has a very slight record impression shape, and some minor storage marks. The inner gatefold has no defects to mention and displays the very seventies looking group photograph (great outfits!) which is perfect, with no loss of colour.
Midway down the record entry edge visible on the front and back of the cover there is a small cover blemish. This shows as a patch of brown colouration deeper in colour than the rest of the cover. This is visible on the front and back cover but not on the gatefold inner. I can only assume that this blemish somehow occurred during the manufacturing process. I have been happy to have this record in my own collection for many years, and I can assure all interested buyers that it in no way detracts too much from the overall cover appearance.
I have included two close up scans of the front and rear cover below to illustrate the blemish.
Sound Quality
The album plays with perfect audio. There is no hiss, crackle, pops, or distortion of any kind. A mint playing album in fact.
Overall
This highly sought after rarity that will prove extremely hard if not impossible to find better, certainly true regarding the vinyl so I can recommend it without hestitation.
Please see scans of cover and labels below
SIDE ONE : Life and Times, Summer Days, September, Unhinged.
SIDE TWO : Mr 509, Brooklyn Thoughts, Time of War.
The grading system I use is from Record Collector:- Mint, Excellent, Very Good with +/- to distinguish borderline grades.
All records are carefully visually and play graded before auction to avoid any disappointment to buyers, so bid with confidence.
A full no quibble refund for the cost of the record will be offered if you are not satisfied for ANY reason.
I treat all vinyl with the greatest respect whether £5 or £50, so all records are sent out with plastic covers in professional mailers and two protective stiffeners. I always
seperate records from their covers and original inner sleeves for posting to prevent seam splits occurring during shipping.
I would advise insurance to be taken out on any record sale greater than £30.00 as protection against loss or damage during shipping.
Please do not bid if you have significant negative feedback unless checking first.
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH VINYL FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS.
I AIM TO PROVIDE TOP QUALITY RECORDS WITH A TROUBLE FREE TRANSACTION.
IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED FOR ANY REASON PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL
OFFER A FULL REFUND MINUS THE POSTAGE COSTS.
PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BIDS!
