Description

THE YARDARM S/T 1973 WESTWOOD WRS 026 A1/B1 UK 1ST PRESS STEREO VERY RARE FOLK!!


Note: All records are professionally cleaned prior to grading on an Okki Nokki RCM using L’Art Du Son cleaning fluid. This does not restore a record to brand new, but rather removes the majority of dust and dirt to leave a record (and it’s audio) as clean as possible.
Year

Label

Matrix Numbers

Sleeve

The sleeve appears to be in EX condition with general shelf and usage wear from over the years.


Vinyl


Visually the record appears to be in VG+ condition with some scuffs and light sleeve marks under a bright light. Unfortunately upon playback the record is warped.

This causes it to skip through the majority of the first track on the A side and give a light ’stylus noise’ in the background during quieter passages. Apart from that it sounds very good.

Nice filler or with the rarity of this album, possibly the only one you will ever find!

I have not attempted any sort of ‘record flattener’ or any of the crazy methods online. I shall leave this to the new buyer to see if they can ‘fix’ the warp!



Record Collectors Grading System
MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
The use of + or - allows for items that fall between the above grades.

Unfortunately as this is not my full time job, I am only able to visually grade records.
