RAGGERTY - SWEET FOLK AND COUNTRY
VERY RARE PRIVATE PRESSING FROM 1975
EX+ AUDIO
EX+ SLEEVE
(Only ever sold at Their Gigs and folk clubs - hence the rarity)
FULLY PLAY TESTED PRIOR TO LISTING
THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION
THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TEXT IS IMMACULATE
THERE ARE ONLY 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE
ABSOLUTELY GLEAMING MARK FREE DISC IN DAYLIGHT
LOOKLS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRESSED
EVEN UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT ONLY SHOWS THREE SMALL LIGHT SURFACE HANDLING LINES ON SIDE TWO ON TRACK ONE
THE TEST PLAY
THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEAR
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A PRIVATE PRESS THE QUALITY OF THE VINYL IS NEVER GOINMG TO BE AS IMPRESSIVE AS THE MAIN LINE COMPANIES, BUT HAVING SAID THAT THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY MAJOR FLAW
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISES OR HISS EITHER
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
THE ONLY THING THAT IS APPERENT ARE SOME SMALL LITTLE TICS ON OCCASION AND A LITTLE LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND ON OCCASIONS
A REALLY EXCEPTIONAL AND CLEAN RECORD WITH A LOUD AND POWERFUL AUDIO
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE OVERALL AUDIO AS EX+
LAMINATED FRONT SURFACE, NOI LAMINATED REAR SURFACE SINGLE SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE SHOWS NO RUBBING OTHER THAN A TINY SPECK ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP
NO RING WEAR JUST A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND HAS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE
THERE ARE 10 SMALL PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGE HAS A LITTLE RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER AREA
THE BOTTOM EDGE IS FULLY LAMINATED AND PERFECT
THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ONLY
THE OPENING EDGE IS SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF FEATHERING
THE REAR SURFACE IS STILL VERY WHITE WITH ONLY VERY LIGHT EVIDENCE OF HANDLING
THE POLY LINED INNER HAS NO SEAM SPLITS , JUST SOME AGE RELATED MARKS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EX+
