May Blitz

The 2nd Of May

Catalogue Number: 6360037

Matrix Numbers: 1Y/2Y

Year Released:  1971

Released In: UK

Manufactured In: UK

Label: Vertigo Swirl - Immaculate Labels

Vinyl: The vinyl is in Very Good + to Excellent condition. It has been professionally cleaned and looks great. There are no scratches, a couple of non play impacting marks and some paper scuffing. There are no fingerprints. Quiet run in on both sides and quiet between tracks. The overall sound quality is quite superb on both sides - I did detect four minor clicks on "High Beech" but that was it. There is some very minor suface noise here and there but does hinder the listening expeerience.

Sleeve: The gatefold sleeve is in Very Good + condition. The spine is clearly readable, all edges and corners are intact. There is no writing or tears. There is light fading to the front and rear and a little paper lift in the right hand inner part of the gatefold. Ths is very small and is to the top of the inner sleeve. There is some type of stain top left front sleeve. There may have been a label there at some stage, hard to say. Overall though, it's not that bad at all considering the age of the record. The record is housed in a lined Vertigo inner which is in good shape.

Small business founded in 2006 – based in Lichfield Staffordshire. We sell high quality vinyl, singles and occasionally CD’S. In addition, we organize a number of specialist vinyl record fairs in Lichfield. See www.myspace.com/thoseoldrecords for details. We aim to provide the very best customer service at all time – accurate gradings, strong packaging and all at a keen price. Any queries please mail me at thoseoldrecords@btinternet.com

Record Grading:

All records are graded as per the standards set by Record Collector. Records are examined under a strong halogen light and graded accordingly. In addition, all NON MINT records are played on a LINN Axis turntable with an Akito arm with a Roksan cartridge. I tend not to get carried with the classification or use words like “impossibly rare” “vault copy” or any other such nonsense. My reviews are precise and to the point, it is assumed that you know something of the artist so I rarely provide a description of who they are/were etc. The High Numbers became The Who, N’ Betweens became Slade – you will not find a long description on the history in these reviews.

Record Cleaning:

All NON MINT albums are professionally cleaned prior to classification on an Okki Nokki record cleaning machine before dispatch. Machine available from www.stamfordaudio.co.uk

Packaging: (all vinyl 7” + 12”)

Packaging is of the highest quality, I use professional mailers at all times, each record is supported by 2 cardboard stiffeners. The inner sleeve and record are packed individually in order to reduce wear on the sleeve in transit. The record, inner and cardboard stiffeners are then packed inside a high grade polythene record protector before being sealed in the mailer. The mailer is then supported by tape around the edges in order to minimise risk.
