SO FINALLY HERE`S WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR:

ARTIST: SHAPE OF THE RAIN

TITLE: RILEY ,RILEY ,WOOD AND WAGGETT

LABEL: RCA / NEON  NE 7

COUNTRY: UK

YEAR: 1971

CONDITION:

COVER: UNLAMINATED MATT GATEFOLD. SOME MILD RUBBING,MAINLY TO BOTTOM EDGES & CORNERS (SHELFWEAR); 1 SMALL NEATLY COLOURED-IN TEAR ON FRONT TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE (see pic); 3 SMALL VERY FAINT CREASES TOWARDS OPENING SIDE ON BACK. SPINE SOLID AND SQUARE AND 100% READABLE (see pics), INSIDE GATEFOLD PERFECT; OPENING EDGES STRAIGHT AND SHARP; NO RIPS,NO SPLITS,NO UNWANTED WRITING. HIGHLY PRESENTABLE INDEED!! WITHOUT THE MENTIONED TEAR I WOULD GRADE AS A TIGHT EX, I`LL GRADE THIS ONE AS A VERY STRONG VG+

VINYL VISUAL: NOTHING TO FAULT BUT SOME SLEEVE REMOVAL TRACES AND 4 OR 5 "MICROSPOTS" INSIDE THE VINYL ON EACH SIDE (MANUFACTURING FAULT:RCA-PRESSINGS OF THIS ERA ARE WELL KNOWN FOR THIS). STILL RETAINS A VERY NICE SHINE! I GRADE THE VINYL VISUALLY AS EXCELLENT EX 

VINYL AUDIO: PLAYS SUPERBLY! ONLY THE VERY FAINTEST OF BACKGROUND HEARD IN QUIET PASSAGES AND/OR IN THE GAPS BETWEEN THE TRACKS; THE "MICROSPOTS" CAUSE THE ODD VERY FAINT UNINTRUSIVE POP. EXCELLENT AUDIO!

OTHER: COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL BLACK INNER SLEEVE. SOME CREASES,NO RIPS,SPLITS OR TEARS,BUT THE POLY-LINER IS MISSING

SUMMARY / EXTRA INFO`S: A HIGHLY UNDERRATED ALBUM ON THE ELUSIVE AND MEGA SOUGHT AFTER "NEON"-LABEL. RARE AND VERY HARD TO FIND,ESPECIALLY IN SUCH NICE KEEPER-CONDITION!! WELL WORTH INVESTING IN,NOT ONLY FOR IT`S RARITY BUT ALSO FOR IT`S GREAT MUSIC IN BADFINGER`S STYLE! MINT COPIES MEANWHILE CHANGE HANDS FOR VERY HIGH PRICES (see www.popsike.com)!DON`T MISS
