THIN LIZZY'S SECOND ALBUM FROM 1973
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BLUE AND SILVER LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THE BLUE BASE COLOUR IS CLEAN ANDUNRUBBED AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE IS A SMALL DARK RING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE WHICH IS WHERE THE DISC HAS BEEN ON MY CLEANING MACHINE. THE SILVER LOGO AND TYPEFACE ARE BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE HALF A DOZEN OR SO SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED SINCE 1973
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND HAS ONLY A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE NON SOUNDING HANDLING MARKS ON IT, AND UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS FROM THIS ALBUM, I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, AND TWO OTHER RANDOM TRACKS, ONE FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE LINKING GROOVE. MY AIM IS TO DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP THE SOUND IS WHILST ALLOWING YOU TO HEAR THE SILENT PASSAGES TO DETERMINE WHETHER THERE IS ANY BACKGROUND NOISES.
I HOPE YOU WILL AGREE THAT THERE IS NO BACKGROUND NOISE WHATSOEVER, NO CRACKLES ETC. it plays to perfection all the way through
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT
THE SLEEVE
SINGLE NON LAMINATED SLEEVE AND VERY VERY HARD TO GET IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS ALWAYS ON THE REAR SURFACE WHERE THERE IS USUALLY SEVERE RING WEAR AND A HORRIBLE LOSS OF THE BLACK BASE COLOUR THEREFORE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR. THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE MARKS OR CREASE LINES. THERE ARE A FEW REALLY SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE SMALL THUMB LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE THE BAREST TRACE OF SHELF WEAR IN THE FORM OF SOME WHITE FLECKS ALONG THE EDGES. THE BOTTOM LEFT AND RIGHT CORNERS HAVE RUBBED A LITTLE MORE . THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF SMALL LINES ACCROSS IT, BUT ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY VERY SHARP. THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO LOSS TO THE BLACK COLOUR WHATSOEVER APART FROM A VERY VERY LIGHT SHADOW ALONG THE TOP EDGE. THERE IS NO RING WEAR
INSIDE THE SLEEVE, THE ORIGINAL INSERT IS IN MINT CONDITION
THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN PRISTINE CONDITION. HARDLY ANY CREASING AND DEFINITELY NO SPLITS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
