Description
This album comes from a recent inheritance, some of which I am selling off.
As you can see from the photos this is not without problems, but actually plays very well.
I would say that the disc looks VG/G+ but actually plays VG+ on my system (Hana ML/ RB600). More specifically side one plays pretty flawlessly on my system, with only significant noise on the run off. Side two has a few more issues with one detected pop during Gigolo Aunt, some clicks at the end of Wined and Dined/ start of Wolfpack… and then at some points during Effervescing Elephant too. In summary it plays much better than I could have hoped on first viewing as there are quite a few scratches on both sides (which are difficult to capture on the photos).
As you can see from the photos the sleeve is quite grubby in places has some indents and creasing, and is discoloured. This has been in a smokers home from new and has all the signs of wear from someone who loved this album. However, there are no seam splits or tears and the labels are in really good condition. The inner sleeve is generic, and I have put the record in a new poly bag since cleaning it with Ross Andrews Revive fluid.
Runout (Side A var. 2): SHSP 4007 A-1G M 1
Runout (Side B Var. 2): SHSP 4007 B-1G A 1
So I will leave it up to you whether you want to bid. You will not get an immaculate version of this rare item but you will get one that is very playable with only a few issues (provided your system is as ‘forgiving’ as mine).
Thanks for looking.
