ARTISTE, RECORD TITLE AND LABEL
ALLMAN BROTHERS "At Fillmore East"
Capricorn SD 2- 802(pressed in US)
BACKGROUND :
Considered by many as one of the greatest live recordings, if not the greatest, of all time, this is a white label promotional copy and rarer than the pink Capricorn the rarity of which has already been has been enhanced by the audiophile segment of the record collecting fraternity. It comes with not only the promotional sticker but also a white sticker on the top right hand corner.
I compared it to my other copies ie a pink Capricorn and the Nautilus half speed and it was way superior to the Nautilus one in that this sounded weightier and full of life.
GRADING RESULTS:
I would rate the cover as generally VG++ . Though there are no writings, tears etc on the cover , there are some scuffs on the edges as well as some flaking on the sides though there are no seam splits.
All 4 sides of the vinyl could be graded as between Excellent to Near Mint with some light hairline surface scratches which did not affect play. Tracking at 1.7g on my Naim ARO/Linn/Lyra Helikon SL, there are the occasional light clicks or pops but these were not intrusive and generally the playing could be graded as between Excellent to Near Mint.
How I Clean and Grade my Records
Cleaning: Cleaning is usually done on a Loricraft PRC 4 cleaning machine using the US made Walker Audio stage cleaning solution.
Playback Equipment: Playback is through a Linn LP12 turntable/Armeggedon/Naim Aro tonearm/Lyra Helikon SL cartridge and through a brace of active Naim 250s/135s into Naim DBL speakers. For 45s I use a second Linn/Lingo/Aro/Linn Troika though I change them occasionally as the arm tubes can be easily transferred from one deck to another.
I use both Goldmine and Rare Record Price Guide grading system as a guide and came up with the following:
· Mint I only use this for sealed items. The record is virtually unplayed and is in a brand new condition. Cover is pristine. Up till now, I have never used this grading and, chances are, never will, due to my conservative nature in matters of record grading.
· Near Mint Very little or negligible flaws. Faint lines or very faint creasing on laminated covers visible under a strong light is acceptable but nothing serious. Records which show some signs of having been played such as very faint spindle marks are allowed but there should be no lessening in sound quality. .
· Excellent Item obviously played, though not often,and enjoyed with some slight noise. The record should be nice and shiny but may have a few light marks which should not intrude on play. Slight wear on cover is acceptable.
· Very Good Many more imperfections which are noticeable but not obtrusive. The record has been played several times but there should be no major deterioration in sound quality despite some noticeable surface marks and light scratches. Normal wear and tear or writings on the cover is acceptable but there should not be any major tears.
I do not offer any records below Very Good unless its extremely rare.
Shipping costs
I use brand new custom made plastic sleeves for both the vinyl and for the sleeve. Shipping is always by Airmail and by registered post as it allows one to track items in case of delays. Shipping costs in pounds are:
UK/USA/Europe 13 pounds
Hongkong, Taiwan South Korea 11.3 pounds
Australia China Japan 11 pounds
Postage is via Airmail, "signed for" delivery. I prefer signed for delivery as it allows me to "chase" on my side if buyers do not get their items within 2 weeks though so far this has only happened with Italy.
I will inform buyers of the registration details through Email on posting.
Forms of payment that I accept include:
· PAYPAL (preferred choice)
· International Money Orders
Pay instantly with your debit or credit card through PayPal.
