Description
ARTHUR 'DUKE' REID - TREASURE DUB
ORIGINAL JAMAICAN PRESS ON TREASURE ISLE
PLAYS EX++
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ISSUES OF THIS ALBUM. ONE OF WHICH WAS THIS PRESSING WHICH DID NOT COME WITH A SLEEVE (SEE DISCOGS)
IT HAS THEREFORE BEEN HOUSED IN A PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS AND A COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACEIS UNRUBBED
THE VINYL
THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS NEAR FLAWLESS, AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO. I SEE A NUMBER OF TINY DIMPLES IN THE VINYL. THIS IS TYPICAL OF SOME JAMAICAN PRESSES. FORTUNATELY THERE IS NO IMPACT ON THE AUDIO. THERE ARE 2-3 VERY FINE NON SOUNDING WISPY HAIRLINES ALSO
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH SUPERBLY. THE REPRODUCTION IS OUTSTANDING . SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION AND A CRACKING DISTORTION AND CRACKLE FREE PERFORMANCE.
THOSE THAT KNOW EARLYJAMAICAN PRESSES WILL APPRECIATE THAT THERE IS USUALLY EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE PRESS, BUT HERE THIS EXAMPLE HAS AVOIDED THAT COMPLETELY
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS
ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WERE A FEW SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND AND A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TICS AND POPS
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THIS SUPERB PRESSING AND BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO EX++
THE SLEEVE
PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE TO KEEP THE RECORD CLEAN
THIS PRESSING WAS NEVER ISSUED WITH A SLEEVE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
