Description
COVER : EXCELLENT, these sleeves can come in single or gatefold sleeve. This one is single. All these sleeves can have some ring marks, stains, writing on them, small tears, staple marks, foxing, coffee stains etc. Hopefully, not all have these things together though. This is a generalization over all of the defects they can have.
LABELS : VERY GOOD +, a few spindle traces.
IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH MY GRADING PLEASE GET IN CONTACT WITH ME BEFORE LEAVING NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE
FEEDBACK SO WE CAN BOTH COME TO AN AGREEMENT TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. EITHER A REFUND ON THE RECORD, OR A PARTIAL
REFUND AND YOU KEEP THE RECORD. SO AS TO KNOW YOU ARE COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH YOUR RECORD I WILL LEAVE YOUR
FEEDBACK AFTER YOU HAVE LEFT MINE.
THANKS FOR LOOKING. VINYL : VERY GOOD, it is VG because it has some dulling marks caused by the plastic inner protector at the run ins both sides that causes some light hissing type noise as it passes these marks. It is only for the first 20-40 seconds or so both sides. Side 2 has more of this marking. Has some light hairlines/scuffs. Otherwise it plays around VG+ all over with some light static and occasional popping. THESE ARE VERY RARE ORIGINAL UK BBC TRANSCRIPTION ON THIS RECORD ARE : JOHNNY NASH with 'There Are More Questions Than Answers', CAT STEVENS with 'Can't Keep It In' and 'Sitting', CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD with 'Let Me Down Easy' and 'Elmo James', 10CC with 'Donna' and 'Warm Me', J.S.D.BAND with 'Fishing Blues' and CLIFFORD T. WARD with 'Coat Hanger' . MINE HAS NO CUE SHEETS! THESE LPS HAVE BEEN SITTING IN A CUPBOARD FOR 40 ODD YEARS, WITH DUST GETTING INTO THE SLEEVES AND INTO THE GROOVES. I HAVE CLEANED AND PLAYED EACH LP AND MY GRADING IS BASED ON LISTENING AS WELL AS VISUAL. SO PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOME STATIC, CRACKLE OR THE OCCASIONAL POPS/CLICKS, BECAUSE MOST OF THE BBC TRANSCRIPTION LPS I WILL PUT UP FOR AUCTION DO PLAY WITH STATIC AND SOME CRACKLE AND THE OCCASIONAL POPS/CLICKS WHICH WILL VARY WITH EACH LP. BEWARE OF BLACK/WHITE LABEL BOOTLEG / COUNTERFEITS. This is an UK pressing on the BBC TRANSCRIPTION Label, cat. no. 417 RECORDS MADE FOR THE RADIO STATIONS AIRPLAY ONLY. THEY WERE SENT TO ALL COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES, BBC, ABC (OR SIMILAR) RADIO BROADCASTERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THEY WERE NOT MADE IN BIG NUMBERS AND DEFINITELY NOT MADE FOR PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION. MAYBE 50 - 100 OR SO IN THE WORLD. WHAT MAKES THEM EXTREMELY DESIRABLE TO COLLECTORS IS THE FACT THAT A LOT OF THE RECORDINGS ON THE BBC TRANSCRIPTION ALBUMS ARE SONGS THE ARTISTS DID LIVE IN THE BBC STUDIOS AND ONLY FOR THAT PARTICULAR DISC AND THAT TIME ONLY, TRUE ONE OFF'S, SO THEY ARE UNHEARD GEMS THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE WILL GET AROUND TO LISTEN TO. THIS MAKES THEM VERY RARE AND WORTH HAVING, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE INTO. VERY RARELY COME UP FOR SALE, SO NOT MANY AVAILABLE TO BUY THESE DAYS. THEY ARE ALSO WELL KNOWN FOR THEIR GREAT SOUND QUALITY.
