THE SWEET - SWEET FANNY ADAMS
IN MAGNIFICENT UNPLAYED CONDITION
- CATALOGUE:RCA LPL 15038
- MATRIX: LPL15038 A-1 / LPL15038 B-1
THE ULTIMATE SWEET ALBUM. RECORDED IN 1974 AT THE HEIGHT OF THE GLAM ROCK ERA. THIS ALBUM HAS NO SINGLES ON IT WHATSOEVER. IT WAS AN ALBUM THAT SWEET WANTED TO MAKE TO SHOW THAT THEY WERE SERIOUS ROCK STARS AND NOT POP STARS.
IT IS RARE TO FIND ANY QUALITY ALBUM THESE DAYS IN AN UNPLAYED CONDITION, BUT THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE WITH THIS INCREDIBLE DISC
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN ANYWHERE NEAR A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM MINISCULE HANDLING LINE ON THE RUN IN TO SIDE 2
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 RECORDED FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS THAT ON OFFER. THE REPORDUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS ALBUM SOUNDS. THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
I THOUGHT ABOUT NO PLAYING THE LP AND LEAVING IT IN IT'S UNPLAYED STATE, BUT AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES, UNPLAYED DOES NOT MEAN MINT, AND I THINK BIDDERS WOULD RATHER HEAR WHAT THIS LP SOUNDS LIKE THAN NOT
IT IS RARE TO FIND SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ALBUM CONDITION WISE, AND I CAN ONLY SAY AGAIN THAT IT IS MINT!!! AND CANNOT BE BETTERED
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE FROM ROBERT STACE AND CO
FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THAT THIS SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM DAY ONE INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE AND IS JUST AS NEW!!.
I HAVE SEEN MANY OF THESE ALBUMS WHERE THE SLEEVE IS CREASES AND THE LAMINATE DULL AND UNCARED FOR. THIS COPY IS VIRTUALLY AS GOOD AS YOU COULD EVER GET
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY VERY CLEAN AND GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THIS IS BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE FROM NEW. . THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES, NOT EVEN ANY LIGHT ONES OR THE REALLY SMALL ONES THAT GATHER NEAR THE SPINE EITHER. THERE IS NO RING WEAR NOR IS THERE EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE. NO BENDS OR DINGS OF ANY NATURE. THE ONLY MINOR BLEMISH IS A SLIGHT TRACE OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AT ALL.AGAIN THIS IS BECAUSE THE ALBUM HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW
THE SPINE IS ALSO PERFECT. FLAT, CLEAN, UNSCUFFED, UNMARKED, FREE FROM ANY COLOUR LOSS AND HAS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TYPEFACE. AND NO LAMINATE PEEL, FLAKE OR SPLIT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS CLEAN AND MARK FREE AS THE FRONT.THERE IS NO TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE AT ALL ANYWHERE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
