MICHAEL HANLY & MICHAEL O'DONNELL - CELTIC FOLKWEAVE
1974 IRISH 1ST PRESS
SUPERB MINT MINUS AUDIOMINT MINUS SLEEVE
VERY SCARCE LP
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ON THEM AT ALL. THE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE SINGLE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS VINYL HAS ONLY EVER HAD A COUPLE OF TRIPS ROUND A TURNTABLE
THE VINYL
THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUBLIME CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS FLAWLESS, AND UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PERFECT.
A MINT LOOKING RECORDTHE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC IT SOUNDS.
WITH EVERY NOTE BEING CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND EITHER AT ANY POINT SHOWING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THE LP HAS HAD, WE COMPLETED WITH A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO MORE THAN THE VERY ODD SEMI SECOND OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN ONE OR TWO OF THE LINKING GROOVES.
A COUPLE OF INSIGNIFICANT STATIC TICS AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS FOR THE PLAY
PLEASE LISTEN TO IT AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FRONT LAMINATED, NON LAMINATED REAR SINGLE SLEEVE
HIGHLY POLISHED LAMINATE ON THE FRONT SURFACE WHICH GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR. THERE IS A LAMINATE FOLD LINE COVERING THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, CLEARLY A SLIP IN THE FACTORY
THERE ARE JUST THREE PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE IN THE RIGHT CORNER, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, PERFECT LAMINATE RUNNING THE FULL LENGTH OF THE SLEEVE WITH ONLY THE TOP RIGHT TIP END HAVING A DOT OF RUB
THE SPINE ALSO HAD PERFECT LAMINATE WITH EVERY LETTER OF TYPEFACE CLEARLY LEGIBLE.NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE . A COUPLE OF MILD FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS AND A DOT OF RUB ON THE TOP TIP
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AGAIN SHOWS JUST HOW LITTLE THIS RECORD HAS BEEN OUT OF THE COVER.
THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, THE BLACK MATTE SURFACE IS FREE FROM ANY RUB OR RING WEAR
COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE WHICH IS UNSPLIT
THIS IS A REAL RARITY AND A PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
