DARRELL BANKS - HERE TO STAY
MINT MINUS AUDIO
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
ONCE PLAYED STEREO COPY- AMAZING LP
A FEW YEARS AGO I PURCHASED A HUGE COLLECTION OF SOUL/ROCKABILLY/NORTHERN SOUL ALBUMS.
AMONGST THIS COLLECTION WAS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF US STAX/ENTERPRISE/VOLT (AND OTHER ASSOCIATED LABELS) ALBUMS.
A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE LP'S WERE UNPLAYED OR AT THE MOST ONCE PLAYED, AND OVER 50% ARE PROMO COPIES.
THESE LP'S WERE ORIGINALLY OBTAINED BY AN ENTREPRENEUR WHO WAS ALSO A PART TIME DJ ON ONE OF THE PIRATE RADIO STATIONS.
HE WROTE TO STAX AND TOLD THEM THAT HE LOVED THEIR MUSIC BUT COULDN'T OBTAIN ENOUGH OF IT HERE IN THE UK. INCREDIBLY THEY PLACED HIM ON THEIR MAILING LIST AND HE STARTED TO RECEIVE PARCELS OF LP'S AND SINGLES REGULARLY FROM THE USA.
I AM GOING TO RELEASE THESE VOLUMES SLOWLY OVER THE COMING MONTHS.
SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AS NEW COPIES OF ORIGINAL STAX RELATED ALBUMS, THEN THIS IS THE PLACE TO KEEP COMING BACK TO.
INCLUDED IN THE BATCH OF UNPLAYED SINGLES IS A COPY OF THE UNRELEASED ERNIE HINES SINGLE ' OUR GENERATION' THIS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE LATER IN THE YEAR
- CATALOGUE:VOLT VOS 6002
- MATRIX: VOL-0055-RE-1-4 / 0056-RE-1-4
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLUE LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON THEM WHATSOEVER THE DEEP RICH COLOURS ARE STILL AS NEW, AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN SEE NO MORE THAN ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE . THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UN-RUBBED AND ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE. OTHER THAN 1-2 WISPY HAIRLINES
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 WITH ALL MY LISTINGS IN THE FIRM BELIEF 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 OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.
THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, JUST A TINY SPECK OF STATIC LIKE STUFF DURING ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
PRISTINE AUDIO THAT IS AS SILENT AS YOU COULD EVER WISH FOR.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
TYPICAL US HARD CARD PASTE OVER SLEEVE IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL A VERY SHINY MARK FREE SURFACE. NO DENTS OR GOUGES AT ALL THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A TINY LITTLE DING
AMAZINGLY NO RING WEAR ON THIS SLEEVE
THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL LINE BY THE SPINE AT ALL. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND FINALLY ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP EDGE HAS THE WHITE COLOUR RUNNING ALONG IT, WITHOUT BLEMISH, EVEN TO THE CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SOME RUB TO BOTH CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE, PRISTINE COLOURS ALL THE WAY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A NEAR PRISTINE PASTE ON LABEL, THAT HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS AND ONLY A LITTLE RUB TO THE BLOCK OF TYPEFACE AT THE BOTTOM
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS STILL PERFECTLY FLAT.NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES
FOR ME THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
