INCREDIBLE LP FEATURING THE VOCAL TALENTS OF ROD STEWART.
PRESSED AND RELEASED IN 1968, THIS SUPERB STEREO PRESSING IS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT TO PLAY AND LISTEN TO
THE SLEEVE
THE FRONT OF THIS PREDOMINANTLY BLACK SLEEVE IS LAMINATED AND THE BACK IS A STANDARD 60'S FLIPBACK NON-LAMINATED COVER.
THE LAMINATED FRONT HAS SOME CREASE LINES TOWARDS THE SPINE AND EDGES. NO RIPS OR TEARS. THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT, UNSQUASHED, AND LEGIBLE, WHILST THE BACK HAS PERFECT FLIPBACKS, AND WHILST THE WHITENESS IS SOMEWHAT AGE SOILED THE SLEEVE OVERALL IS IN A VERY PRESENTABLE VG CONDITION.
THE VINYL
VERY GLOSSY AND HAS THAT NEW LOOK. CLEAN AS WELL. THERE ARE SOME VERY FINE WHISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE UNDER ILLUMINATION, BUT THESE ARE NOT DEEP JUST SLIGHT SURFACE IN PLACES. NO REAL HANDLING MARKS EITHER.
THE LABELS ARE IN NMINT CONDITION. GREAT DEEP BLUE COLOUR, AND JET BLACK SURFACE WITH NICE UNSPOILED SILVER LETTERING. NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR, AND ONLY A FEW LIGHT SPIDER LINES. THE LP HAS HAD PROBABLY ABOUT 15 PLAYS JUDGING BY THE LINES, BUT HAS ALSO CLEARLY BEEN CAREFULLY HANDLED.
THE DISTORTION TEST IS PASSED WITH FLYING COLOURS. I HAVE ONLY EVER HEARD THE MONO RECORDING OF THIS LP BEFORE AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT LISTENING TO THE STEREO MIX IS LIKE HEARING A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LP. I WOULD ADVISE OWNING BOTH COPIES. I AM LISTENING AS I TYPE TO OLD MAN RIVER WHICH HAS THE MOST SUPERB STEREO SPLIT AND SOME INCREDIBLE KETTLE DRUMS. ROD'S VOCALS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MIX, AND A VERY FAINT KEYBOARD PUSHING THROUGH THE RIGHT CHANNEL. THE DRUMS SWAP SPEAKERS, AND THE GUITAR LICKS LEAP FROM THE LEFT CHANNEL, AND THEN SWAP TO THE RIGHT. THIS IS SUCH AN ENJOYABLE ALBUM IN STEREO.
THE LP WHEN I FIRST PUT IT ON THE DECK PRODUCED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ABOVE AVERAGE BACKGROUND CRACKLE, BUT MY STYLUS TRACKS VERY LIGHTLY AND WILL PICK UP ANY NOISE AT THIS VERY SLIGHT WEIGHT. I ADJUSTED THE WEIGHT A LITTLE HEAVIER, NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE, JUST A LITTLE EXTRA ON THE BALANCE AND THE CRACKLE DISAPPEARED. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS QUITE OFTEN WITH EARLY EMI VINYL. I THINK IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE OF DECK THE LP WAS ORIGINALLY PLAYED ON. ANYWAY WITH THIS OUT OF THE WAY THERE WAS NO MORE NOISES, PERHAPS THE ODD BIT OF LIHTSTATIC, AND THEVVRY OCCASIONAL LIGHT POP, BUT THIS IS A VERY HIGH QUALITY RECORDING INDEED.
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH AN EX GRADE, AND I AM SURE THE WINNER WILL ALSO BE.
