SLADE - WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SLADE
IN MAGNIFICENT ONE PLAY CONDITION
- CATALOGUE:BARN 2314103
- MATRIX:2314103 A//3 P / B//3 P
- FIRST PRESS
ONE OF THE HARDER SLADE ALBUMS TO COLLECT, AS BY 1977 THEIR POULARITY HAD SERIOUSLY WANED AND THEIR RECORD RCA COMPANY HAD DITCHED THEM, AND THEY FOUND THEMSELVES ON THE LITTLE KNOWN BARN LABEL, WHICH WAS A VERY UNHEARD OF SUBSIDIARY OF POLYDOR, THE COMPANY THAT HELPED LAUNCH THEIR CAREER. A SUPERB SET OF SONGS ON THIS ALBUM, WHICH IS IN MINT CONDITION!!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BROWN BASE COLOUR IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION, RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE CONDITION. EVEN UNDER CLOSE SCRUTINY THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES SURROUNDING THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST WHY THIS ALBUM IS IN MINT CONDITION, AND MAY EVEN HAVE REMAINED UNPLAYED UNTIL TODAY
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. A BETTER AND CLEANER EXAMPLE CANNOT BE FOUND
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE DECIDED TO WHERE RECORD THE ENTIRE ALBUM TO ALLOW BIDDERS TO FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE POSSIBLE GOING FOR. MY AIM IS TO DEMONSTARTE THE INCREDIBLE QUALITY OF THE VINYLS I OFFER, AND TO ENSURE BIDDERS GET THE FULL STORY. WORDS CANNOT DO WHAT HEARING CAN!!
THIS LP PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY CRACKLING BACKGROUND WHATSOEVER. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS SIMPLY SUPERB AND THE PRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT. HEARING THIS SUPERB ALBUM SHOULD CONVINCE YOU THAT IT FULLY DESERVES IT'S GRADING. I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY MILD STATIC OR MANY OF THOSE TINY DUST POPS THAT FREQUENT MOST VINYLS. IT IS JUST SUPERB
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
THE SLEEVE IS A SINGLE NON LAMINATED COVER.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. FIRSTLY THERE ARE NO HEAVY OR EVEN LIGHT CREASES, NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND ONLY TWO MINISCULE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. SECONDLY THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY LOSS DUE TO RUBBING.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES DO SHOW VERY MILD SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND HAS 99% OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR PERFECTLY INTACT, JUST A COUPLE OF SLIVERS OF SHELF WEAR
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS NEW WITHOUT EVEN ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS, AGAIN THIS IS FURTHER EVIDENCE OF WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED IN THE CONDITION THAT IT HAS.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SPECIAL AS THE FRONT
THE ORIGINAL LYRIC INSERT IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION, AND THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT UNSPLIT CONDITION
THE SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS
I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
