Description

THIN LIZZY - NEW DAY EP

 

THIS IS THE ULTRA RARE DEBUT WORK FROM THIN LIZZY IN SUCH MAGNIFICENT CONDITION THAT I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT I AM ABLE TO OFFER IT UP FOR AUCTION

TO SAY THAT THIS RECORD IS RARE IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT BUT TO FIND ONE THAT HAS JUST BEEN PLAYED ONCE ONLY, AND TO HAVE THE VERY FRAGILE SLEEVE IN MINT CONDITION, WELL IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE

  • DECCA RECORD, CATALOGUE F.13208
  • MATRIX NUMBERS: 33-ZEFF-2996-1C / 2997-1C

THE LABELS

THE BLUE DECCA LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE DEEP BLUE BASE COLOUR IS UNMARKED AND DEEP IN COLOUR AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS AS SHARP AND CLEAR AS IT COULD BE WITH NO RUBBING OR WEAR AT ALL. THE SAME3 GOES FOR THE DECCA LOGO

THE SPINDLEHOLE ITSELF AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND THERE IS BUT ONE SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE HOLE ON SIDE ONE, AND NONE ON SIDE 2. IT REALLY IS AN IMPOSSIBLE FIND.

THE CORRECT MARKINGS ON THE LABEL CONSIST OF

  • PRINTED IN EIRE
  • MAXI STEREO
  • ALL RIGHTS OF THE MANUFACTURER RIM WORDING

  • THE VINYLS

    MAGNIFICENT BLACK GLOSSY SURFACES ON BOTH SIDES. NO VOSIBLE MARKS OR HAIRLINES WHATSOEVER, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE. INCREDIBLE FIND IN THE BEST CONDITION POSSIBLE

    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 IN FULL EACH OF THE 4 TRACKS ON THE EP SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF THE QUALITY OF THIS INCREDIBLE EP

    THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS PURE "FIRST PRESS" AND DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS EVER!!

    AS THE OPENING TRACK STARTS TO PLAY IT IS CLEAR THAT THE EP IS PLAYING WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED IF IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS WORN OR FAR TOO HEAVY. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THE SOUND IS PERFECTLY CLEAN. . THIS SUPERB PERFORMANCE CONTINUES ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES,THERE IS JUST THE VERY VERY ODD LITTLE BIT OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF RANDOM SPOTS, AND THE VERY ODD LITTLE DUST POP HERE AND THERE.

  •  I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SUPERB VINYL MINT MINUS

  • THE SLEEVE

    WOW!!!! THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THIS SLEEVE. IT IS CLEAR THAT IT HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY LOOKED AFTER FROM NEW, AND WILL COME TO YOU IN THE SAME CLEAR PLASTIC SLEEVE THAT IT HAS ENJOYED FROM NEW.

  • THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THE BROWN RIM COLOUR IS PERFECT AND HAS NOT FADED OR RUBBED ONE BIT. THE COLOURS IN THE PICTURE LIKEWISE HAVE REMAINED RICH AND VIBRANT. IT CANNOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN DOWN THE VERY FRAGILE SPINE. ONLY THE TOP RIGHT CORNER HAS THE VERY FAINTEST TRACE OF A LINE.

  • THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS REMARKABLE. THE WHITE ARE SHOWS JUST THE BAREST TRACE OF HANDLING, BUT THE BROWN RIM AGAIN IS UNWORN AND UNFADED. OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A TOTALLY MINT INNER SURFACE ON BOTH SIDE. THE CORNERS ARE ALL SHARP AND SQUARE, AND THE COLOURS UNFADED AND UNMARKED.

  • I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT A MINT MINUS GRADE SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE SLEEVE AS WELL

     

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU SHOULD CHOOSE TO GO FOR IT
