Description

Over the next few months I am listing my entire collection of vinyl albums. This is my personal collection bought by me from the 1970’s onwards. The albums are not collector standard. These are my albums which I have bought and played over the years. All albums have a 99p starting price.

Good honest guitar based blues-rock now with Rory Gallaghers 1976 album Calling Card, on the iconic Chrysalis label. In my humble opinion, Rory was one of the most underrated guitarists on the scene. He was widely respected by musicians as the 'guitarists guitarist', but he never really got the acclaim he deserved. I saw him a couple of times when he was with Taste, and again, as a solo performer, and was just blown away by his skill. And what about that Strat....apparently it was stolen once and thrown into a ditch where it lay for 3 weeks in the cold and damp. It was found, returned to Rory and was seemingly none the worse for it.
This is a superb album, and the title track, Calling Card is my standout track

Please read this bit carefully. I am not a dealer or a vinyl 'collector', I am just a guy selling all his vinyl. I'm not enough of a vinyl expert to use the 'Record Collector Magazine' grading system . My comments are meerly subjective based on what I see. I play every album through to listen for any skips etc. If I use words like 'Excellent' or 'very good' these should not be construed as indicative of the 'formal' record colectors definition, they are my subjective remarks based on what I see and hear, but remember I AM NOT AN EXPERT

The Sleeve is in superb condition, really, hardly a mark or a crease on it. The spine is clear and tight

The inner is in superb condition

The vinyl is in superb condition. Hardly a mark on it, and it plays through clear and bright on my turntable without a hint of hiss or crackle

All albums are shipped in a cardboard album mailer.
