Description
Hi All, its been some time since I put a few records up for auction, however, I have my eye set on one of those recently issued George Harrison Gretsch’s so the thinning out of my collection has been resurrected to fund the latest itch. I’ve sorted out a few choice cuts in the collection for your consideration as well as a few ‘vinyl staples’ for the discerning new entrant to vinyl collecting. OK for your consideration we have:
Title: BLUE MATTER By SAVOY BROWN
Cat No: SKL 4994 - stereo
Matrix No: ZAL-8682-2W –ZAL 8683-1W
Issue: Original 1969 issue on the Unboxed Blue DECCA Label
Vinyl Condition visual: The vinyl grades as EX; the vinyl has retained most of its gloss and deep sheen. The disc is very clean and showing only the minimum of careful handling marks. There are no marks to the vinyl to report, just some very light and mild surface marks commensurate with age and grade. All in all, a lovely copy of this fab album.
Vinyl Condition Playback: The vinyl grades as EX; almost but not quite, totally silent at the run-ins, and between the tracks, however, for completeness there are a few very occasional low level/mild clicks/pops – but these are hardly detectable even with headphones on. Aside from this, the playback is EX and the music is delivered superbly. The vinyl sits perfectly flat on the turntable.
Label Condition: Ex; just look at the pics. Aside from a few very light spindle marks there is no damage, writing or unwanted blemishes at all to the labels. The silver script is clean and legible.
Cover Front: The front cover Grades as EX- ; the laminated front is clean and undamaged and has retained its shape very well. The central image is clear and the lamination is excellent and intact. With the exception of very, and I mean very mild ring-wear starting to show (when held to the light) and a very small tear damage at bottom right there is no notable creases/splits. All edges are secure; overall an excellent example of this sleeve.
Cover Back: VG+; the unlaminated back is in VG+ condition being clean and essentially damage free, just some very minor age related rubbing/blemishes in one or two places but absolutely nothing too serious at all and all commensurate with age and grade.
Spine: EX; the spine is intact, clean with good lamination cover. It has retained much of its squared-off look and all the text is very legible and clear. The spine at the corners retains the pinched characteristic.
Corners: EX; very mild and gentle knocks but mostly retaining sharp and square edges.
Inserts/Other: nil
Summary: I love this band – much underrated but boy do they play. If production is your thing then this is for you as the great MIKE VERNON produced it - nuff said! The album is a real beauty and one that I’ve owned and cherished for many years. Good stuff like this, in this condition, doesn’t present itself too often and it’s certainly going to get more difficult to find in the future. So here’s your chance to grab a pretty good copy of a fab Blues/Rock album. With regard to postage, all records will be posted in 12” Defenda- corrugated mailers so they should arrive as they left me. Finally, I offer a no-nonsense refund if you’re not delighted with your purchase, less postage of course, which hopefully provides you with sufficient confidence to take a shot, and if you do, good luck.
Mama go switch on my amp, I feel riff coming!
