Description
Hi, my name is Brian and I have been collecting vinyl for many years.
I am not and have never been a 'dealer' by profession, but I have always given honest descriptions and lots of clear photo's of any items I have sold. I do know how disappointing it is when you open that package and the item has been over sold with expressions such as "AWESOME" etc when the item is only in EX- condition or worse. If you are in anyway disappointed with an item from me you are most welcome to return it with a FULL REFUND, providing it is an honest and just mistake by myself as I believe in my descriptions.
SO HERE WE GO.......
For sale here is --LEGEND--MOONSHINE-- UK ORIGINAL FIRST VERTIGO SWIRL/SPIRAL PRESSING WITH ORIGINAL FIRST PRINT SLEEVE
STEREO 6360 063, RELEASED 1971 (VERTIGO SWIRL / SPIRAL RELEASE)?!?
SLEEVE.....GATEFOLD and UN-LAMINATED.It is in GOOD condition showing MODERATE wear and tear. It is very flat and square. The colours are very strong and vibrant . The bottom edge is VG with wear and repair with tape to the corner edge, the wear repair is mirrored on the back of the sleeve, It looks as though the corner of the sleeve has got wet at some time. The top edges are in EX condition with just a little light rubbing and no splits or repairs. The front is EX- with NO UNWANTED WRITING, NO STICKERS AND NO STICKER TEARS just the repaired water damage mentioned earlier. There is wear to all four corner tips. The back of the sleeve is also in VG condition with a coloured in sticker tear and the water damage repair but NO WRITING OR RING-WEAR. The spine is very square and all the information is about 95% readable. The inner gatefold is in EX condition. All in all this is in very acceptable condition for a sleeve of some 38 years of age, VG+.
LABELS.....There is no damage to either label. EX+/EX+.
VINYL....Both sides of this fantastic album still have a deep black shine. Unfortunately both sides suffer from the dreaded 'BAG RASH', which is caused by putting the album back into the poly lined sleeve after cleaning with certain fluids and not drying it properly(so I am informed). This doe not affect the playback. This is most noticable on the A-side and hardly at all on the B-side.If you look at the picture of the vinyl you can see the affect in the darker shadowed area. When you hold this album in the very brightest of lights you can see very few, very faint surface hair lines which are caused by removal and replacement in and out of the inner sleeve, there are 1 or 2 deeper marks that cause light clicks. Both sides play WITHOUT JUMPS just a small amount of crackles. I have played this album on my very sensitive and revealing LINN SONDEK and the sound is UN-WORN, it is full and crisp there is NO loss of listening pleasure at all, great stereo separation and sound stage. There are very light dust crackles that can be heard only in the quieter parts of the music or between tracks, but a professional clean could sort out some of that. This really is not a top copy, but it is such a great album and SO VERY,VERY RARE. NOT IN TOP COLLECTABLE CONDITION AND IS GRADED AS AN HONEST VG. SOME 38 YEARS OLD NOW???!!!
THIS IS NOT IN THE BEST CONDITION, BUT VERY COLLECTABLE AND SO VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION
DON'T MISS THIS IT COULD BE YOUR ONE AND ONLY CHANCE.
