ALBERT KING - KING DOES THE KIN'S THINGS
PERFECT MINT AUDIO
MAGNIFICENT NEAR MINT SLEEVE
ONE PLAY EVER- AMAZING LP
A FEW YEARS AGO I PURCHASED A HUGE COLLECTION OF SOUL/ROCKABILLY/NORTHERN SOUL ALBUMS.
AMONGST THIS COLLECTION WAS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF US STAX/ENTERPRISE/VOLT (AND OTHER ASSOCIATED LABELS) ALBUMS.
A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE LP'S WERE UNPLAYED OR AT THE MOST ONCE PLAYED, AND OVER 50% ARE PROMO COPIES.
THESE LP'S WERE ORIGINALLY OBTAINED BY AN ENTREPRENEUR WHO WAS ALSO A PART TIME DJ ON ONE OF THE PIRATE RADIO STATIONS.
HE WROTE TO STAX AND TOLD THEM THAT HE LOVED THEIR MUSIC BUT COULDN'T OBTAIN ENOUGH OF IT HERE IN THE UK. INCREDIBLY THEY PLACED HIM ON THEIR MAILING LIST AND HE STARTED TO RECEIVE PARCELS OF LP'S AND SINGLES REGULARLY FROM THE USA.
I AM GOING TO RELEASE THESE VOLUMES SLOWLY OVER THE COMING MONTHS.
SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AS NEW COPIES OF ORIGINAL STAX RELATED ALBUMS, THEN THIS IS THE PLACE TO KEEP COMING BACK TO.
INCLUDED IN THE BATCH OF UNPLAYED SINGLES IS A COPY OF THE UNRELEASED ERNIE HINES SINGLE ' OUR GENERATION' THIS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE LATER IN THE YEAR
- CATALOGUE:STAX STS 2015
- MATRIX: STL 0033-1 / 0034-1
- A.I.S.S ETCHED INTO THE DEAD WAX
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE YELLOW LABELS ARE ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON THEM WHATSOEVER THE DEEP RICH COLOURS ARE STILL AS NEW, AND EVEN USING A MAGNIFYING GLASS I CAN SEE NO MORE THAN ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE . THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND IN DAY LIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT ANYWHERE, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS STILL NOTHING TO SEE. AN IMMACULATE VINYL
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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS IN THE FIRM BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
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 LP SOUNDS.
THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY, WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER.
NO LOUD CLICKS AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER
PRISTINE AUDIO THAT IS AS SILENT AS YOU COULD EVER WISH FOR. A TRULY ASTOUNDING AS NEW ALBUM
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
TYPICAL US HARD CARD PASTE OVER SLEEVE IN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD GONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL A VERY SHINY MARK FREE SURFACE. NO DENTS OR GOUGES AT ALL
AMAZINGLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHICH IS A PROBLEM THAT DOES AFFECT THES TYPES OF SLEEVE, BUT THIS ONE HAS NONE WHATSOEVER
THERE ARE NO CREASE LINES BY THE SPINE AT ALL. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE THAT RUNS LIGHTLY ACROSS THE RIGHT CORNER, AND FINALLY NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS JUST A FEW TINY PIN PRICK SCUFFS AND A SPECK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIPS. THE BOTTOM EDGE IS VERY SIMILAR
THE SPINE IS FLAT WITH PERFECT TYPEFACE, AND ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS SHOW A LITTLE RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS VIRTUALLY AS NEW WITH JUST ONE MINUSCULE THUMB NAIL NICK AT THE TOP
THE REAR SURFACE HAS A PRISTINE PASTE ON LABEL, THAT HAS NO MARKS OR STAINS AND NO RUBBING WEAR TO ANY OF THE TYPEFACE
THE PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS STILL PERFECTLY FLAT. THERE ARE A FEW VERY MILD CREASE LINES IN THE CORNERS AND THE WHITE SURFACE HAS ONLY VERY VERY SLIGHTLY AGED,
FOR ME THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
