DR FEELGOOD
DOWN AT THE DOCTORS / TAKE A TIP
1978 7" STUDIO ACETATE IN LOVELY CONDITIONWe've sold many acetates over the years, at Record Fairs and online, but this one has proved impossible to find as a previous sale. Both sides are a live recording, with audience at the beginning, and Brilleaux's introduction. A-side has a slight speeding up for the first few seconds as the master tape is started up. Can't imagine you'll ever find another one of these.
The majority of acetates are heavily marked and played - they deteriorate quickly as the lacquer is not made to be played more than a few times - the disc is a test press. This Acetate hasn't been played much. I've played each side carefully through once on excellent equipment, and the sound is absolutely fantastic - as described below.
THE ACETATE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT BEEN PLAYED VERY MUCH. THE AUDIO IS SUPERB, LOUD AND DYNAMIC, STRAIGHT FROM THE MASTER TAPE, WITH JUST SOME SMALL BACKGROUND ON RUN-INS AND OUTS. ON MY SYSTEM, WHEN THE TRACK'S PLAYING, YOU DON'T REALLY HEAR ANYTHING BUT THE MUSIC. SO RARE TO FIND SUCH A GREAT PLAYING ACETATE, VISUALLY, THE RECORD IS NICE AND CLEAN, WITH JUST SOME SMALL STORAGE MARKING, NONE OF WHICH HAS ANY NOTICEABLE EFFECT ON THE WONDERFUL PLAYBACK.
PLAY GRADED ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
PAYMENT & PACKING POSTAGE FOR THIS RECORD IS FOR UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED-FOR AND FULLY INSURED
POSTAGE FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES WILL BE DISCOUNTED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
PAYMENT:
PAYPAL ONLY PLEASE. THE RECORD WILL BE POSTED OUT THE DAY FOLLOWING PAYMENT.
PACKING:
7"s: ALL OUR SINGLES AND EP'S COME SECURELY PACKED IN STURDY MAILERS AND CARDBOARD STIFFENERS. THE VINYL IS PUT INTO A NEW WHITE PAPER SLEEVE, AND THEN INTO A POLY OUTER SLEEVE ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL SLEEVE.
LP'S: THE VINYL IS PUT INTO A NEW POLY INNER SLEEVE AND PACKED OUTSIDE THE ORIGINAL COVER TO AVOID RINGWEAR AND SEAM SPLITS. BOTH VINYL AND COVER ARE THEN HOUSED IN A NEW POLY OUTER SLEEVE FOR EXTRA PROTECTION BEFORE PACKING WITH MAILER AND STIFFENERS.
We have been buying and selling rare vinyl for over 30 years. We have a large and eclectic vinyl-only stall at most of the major UK record fairs, including Olympia and Westminster, where our reputation for selling records in superb condition is well known. We specialise in all things Psych & Prog, although you'll find all genres in our ebay listings.
Unlike most shops, we play-grade all of our 7" singles, and at least part of our LP's, including run-ins and outs, track breaks and at least one track. Rarer LP's are carefully play-graded all the way through.
We're very proud of our 100% feedback. If there's any kind of problem with the item, please contact us first to resolve before leaving feedback.
Thanks!
