Description
HERE IS A OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL SERIOUS VINYL RECORD COLLECTORS TO ADD ONE OF THE RAREST RECORDS AROUND TO THEIR COLLECTION. THIS IS ONE OF A SMALL NUMBER OF ORIGINAL COPIES OF THE FOLK/ROCK ALBUM BY FRESH MAGGOTS RELEASED IN 1971.
THE COVER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THE FRONT COVER HAVING NO SCRATCHES OR MARKS ON IT, THOUGH A COUPLE OF SLIGHT CREASE MARKS CAN BE SEEN ONLY WHEN TIPPED AT AN ANGLE TO THE LIGHT. THE BACK COVER HAS RING WEAR WHICH IS QUITE NORMAL ON ALBUM COVERS THIS OLD. THE INTERNAL SLEEVE IS ORIGINAL AND HAS FADED OVER THE YEARS AND HAS A FEW MARKS ON IT.
THE DISC SHOWS NO SIGN OF WEAR EXCEPT FOR ONE UNFORTUNATE SCRATCH ON SIDE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SCRATCHES OR MARKS ON SIDE TWO. THE SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE AFFECTS THE SOUND QUALITY AS FOLLOWS.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SKIPS ON TRACK TWO. THEY SEEM TO BE ONLY SINGLE GROOVE SKIPS AS OPPOSED TO MAJOR JUMPS. ALSO THERE A FEW CLICKS ON THIS TRACK. TRACK FIVE ALSO HAS ON SINGLE SKIP AND A FEW CLICKS. MINOR CLICKS CAN BE HEARD ON TRACK FOUR ONLY IN THE QUIETER SECTIONS. TRACK SIX HAS A COUPLE OF CLICKS ONLY AT THE START.
SIDE TWO HAS NO SCRATCHES BUT A COUPLE OF CRACKLES CAN BE HEARD ON TRACKS TWO AND FIVE. I CAN'T SEE ANY REASON FOR THIS, THEY MAY BE CURED WITH A PROFESSIONAL CLEAN WHICH IT HAS NEVER HAD.
I HAVE OWNED THIS COPY FOR 42 YEARS AND IT HAS ONLY BEEN PLAYED ON A FEW OCCASIONS. THE SCRATCH WAS CAUSED SOON AFTER I AQUIRED IT AND WAS DUE TO THE CARELESSNESS OF TEENAGE YOUTH.
THERE ARE ONLY A HANDFUL OF PRISTINE COPIES OF THIS IN THE WORLD AND THEY ARE PROBABLY IN PRIVATE COLLECTIONS FOR EVER. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES YOU WILL EVER BE ABLE TO ADD THIS RARE ALBUM TO YOUR COLLECTION AS THEY ARE SO SELDOM COME ON TO THE MARKET.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME.
