THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT ROCK OPERA INFLUENCING THE WHO'S TOMMY. ENGINEERED BY THE HURRICANE HIMSELF, NORMAN SMITH THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE / PSYCHADELIC MASTERPIECE AND A FABULOUS COPY TO START YOUR S F SORROW COLLECTION, ITS A MUST HAVE ALBUM IN YOUR 60'S ROCK COLLECTION, LISTEN TO "TRUST" AND YOU TOO WILL BE HOOKED!!! LISTEN TO "DEATH" ON SIDE 1 AND IT COULD BE THE CURE FROM THE 80'S!!!!
AHEAD OF THEIR TIME?
LISTEN AND BELIEVE!!!
THIS COPY HAS BEEN WELL PLAYED AND HAS SURFACE SCRATCHES, LOTS OF THEM. IT DOES HAVE BACKGROUND AND CRACKLES IN THEQUIETER PARTS AND IN BETWEEN TRACKS. BUT THE SOUND IS STILL LOUD AND BLASTS THROUGH MY HEADPHONES. IT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SKIPS ON SIDE 2, TRACK 1 "BARRON SATURDAY" AND THERE IS A MARK THAT PRODUCES A RASPING NOISE ON SIDE 1, TRACK 2 "BRACELETS OF FINGERS", YET THE DISC IS STILL ENJOYABLE AND I AM PLAYING IT AS I WRITE.
SO, NOT TOTALLY TRASHED AND WILL FILL THAT GAP UNTIL AN AFFORDABLE ONE COMES ALONG.....
labels...good +
vinyl.....good - / fair ++
audio....good
inner sleeve....fair + +
outer sleeve....good + +
Labels have spindle wear and has that rough surface that came with these presses but has no writing on them.
Inner sleeve is the correct type for this album but has 2 splits on 2 of the edges and is a bit creased.
Outer sleeve is complete but spine is ripped halfway down. Nicely flat with no corner creases and the gatefold opens nicely and is clean inside the gatefold. However, the sleeve is covered with a paste / glue and has stained the front side. There is tape residue on the rear and inside gatefold. Looks like it was used as an art project as some point!!
OVERALL A NICE COPY THAT IS NOT TRASHED AND CAN BE PLAYED AND ENJOYED, I AM PLAYING THIS AS I WRITE. GET THIS AND SAVE YOUR PRISTINE COPY OR A STARTER COPY FOR YOUR COLLECTION!!!
LOW START AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL BIDDERS!!
