SNAFU FEATURING THE LEGENDARY MICKY MOODY ON GUITAR
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABEL IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BLACK JUST COULD NOT BE BLACKER EITHER, AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. IT IS TOTALLY CLEAN AND IN MINT CONDITION.
ALL OF THE TYPEFACE AND THE WWA LOGO IS IN PERFECT UNRUBBED CONDITION.
THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS CLASSIC ALBUM HAS BEEN ON A TURNTABLE AS IMPOSSIBLE AS THAT SEEMS
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A GREAT ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN ONCE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT WISPS AND HANDLING SIGNS, BUT NOTHING THAT MARS THE SUPERB REPRODUCTION
PLAYING THE RECORD
I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
I HAVE RECORDED FOUR COMPLETE TRACKS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE. I HAVE DELIBERATELY RECORDED SOME OF THE QUIETER PASSAGES TO SHOW THIS OFF
THE LP REALLY PLAYS TO PERFECTION WITH PERHAPS JUST THE ODD BARELY AUDIBLE DUST POP ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DENTS. THERE ARE A FEW VERY SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE AND ONE LIGHT ONE ACCROSS THE TOP LEFT CORNER. WHAT IS REMAREABLE ABOUT THIS SLEEVE IS THE BLACK BORDER TO THE PICTURE ON THE FRONT AS MOST COPIES WILL HAVE THIS SEVERELY RUBBED AND WORN. THIS ONE IS IN NEAR PERFECT STATE WITH JUST AN ABSOLUTE MINISCULE SHADE OF RUBBING ON SMALL PARTS OF THE PERIMETER EDGES.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WHICH I SUSPECT MEANS THAT THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PRESERVED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE.
THE SPINE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. ALL OF THE BLACK IS THERE, NO RUBBING, AND THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND CLEARLY SHOWS WHY THIS LP IS IN VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED CONDITION. ONE TINY THUMB NAIL NICK IS ALL THET CAN BE SEEN ALONG THE EDGES
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE ALSO HAS THE SAME SUPERB FINISH TO IT, WITH THE ONLY MINOR BLEMISH BEING A SMALL WHITE PATCH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLEEVE SHOWING THROUGH
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR PRISTINE PANELS WITH JUST A SPECK OF WHITE ON EITHER SIDE WHERE THE SLEEVE MUST HAVE BEEN STUCK TOGETEHER AT SOME POINT
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO SPLITS AND JUST THE BAREST CREASES
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
