BADFINGER
' NO DICE '
APPLE - SAPCOR 16
FIRST UK STEREO PRESSING 1970
***
FOR AUCTION TODAY I HAVE A GREAT COPY OF THIS 1970 BRITISH POWER POP CLASSIC. THIS IS A SUPERB AND SADLY UNDERRATED (AT THE TIME) ALBUM. TWELVE GREAT TUNES INCLUDING 'NO MATTER WHAT' AND THE ORIGINAL (AND MUCH BETTER) VERSION OF 'WITHOUT YOU' WITH IT'S BEAUTIFUL GUITAR SOLO, A HUGE HIT FOR HARRY NILSSON TWO YEARS LATER.
A GREAT COVER WITH THAT GIRL ON THE FRONT AND BACK AND A GREAT SHOT OF THE BAND INSIDE.
MATRIX NO.s : SAPCOR 16A - 2U / 16B - 2U
MOTHERS/STAMPERS 1G / 2L
A VERY EARLY UK APPLE PRESSING WITH 1G STAMPED IN THE DEAD WAX ON SIDE ONE. FIRST ISSUE LABELS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE CLEAN WITH NO SPINDLE TRAILS AROUND THE CENTRE HOLES!
LABELS GRADED AS MINT
AT FIRST GLANCE THE DISC LOOKS PERFECT. CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE DISC UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT SHOWS A FEW SHADOWY MARKS NEAR THE EDGES OF THE DISC. THESE ARE NOT FROM ANY CONTACT, JUST THOSE ODD LIGHT MARKS THAT SOMETIMES APPEAR ON VINTAGE VINYL OVER A PERIOD OF MANY YEARS. THEY ARE OF NO SIGNIFICANCE AND DO NO EFFECT THE AUDIO IN ANY WAY. THE ACTUAL PLAYING SURFACES HAVE A LOVELY SHINE THAT IS ONLY FOUND ON EXTREMELY WELL LOOKED AFTER RECORDS. AUDIO IS CRYSTAL CLEAR, A SUPERB SOUNDING RECORD WITH NO POPS, CLICKS OR CRACKLE. NOTHING HEARD EVEN BETWEEN TRACKS. THERE IS THE INEVITABLE VERY LIGHT STATIC IN PLACES . AGAIN THIS IS BEING ULTRA CRITICAL.
VISUAL GRADING FOR DISC IS EXCELLENT+
AUDIO GRADING FOR DISC IS EXCELLENT +/ NEAR MINT
THE GATEFOLD COVER IS UNLAMINATED AND THEREFORE VERY PRONE TO WEAR. HOWEVER THIS ONE US IN GREAT CONDITION. IT HAS NO CREASES ANYWHERE AND THE SPINE IS FULLY INTACT. THERE IS MINOR WEAR TO THE CORNERS AND THE FRONT COVER HAS A VERY LIGHT BLUISH MARK JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE GIRL'S WRIST. THE OPENING POCKET FOR THE DISC IS UNDAMAGED AND THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD IS IN PERFECT SHAPE. TURNING OVER, THE REAR IS UNDAMAGED, JUST A VERY SLIGHT DISC IMPRESSION IS VISIBLE.
COVER GRADED AS VERY GOOD+
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL APPLE ISSUE. THERE ARE NO SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING JUST A FEW SMALL , VERY MINOR CREASES AND A BIT OF BROWNING.
INNER SLEEVE GRADED AS EXCELLENT
I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY 2ND CLASS SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARD FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. ITEMS SELLING TO OVERSEAS BUYERS FOR MORE THAN £20 WILL BE SENT INTERNATION SIGNED FOR. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO RUSSIA, UKRAINE OR ANY OTHER PARTS OF THE FORMER USSR. APOLOGIES TO THE MANY GENUINE COLLECTORS FROM THESE PLACES BUT THE HASSLE I HAVE HAD FROM PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS MEANS THAT THE MINORITY HAVE SPOILED IT FOR THE REST.
RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVES , PLACED IN A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR AND POSTED IN A SOLID BOX MAILER. THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
