BREAD LOVE and DREAMS
The Strange Tale of Captain Shannon and the Hunchback From Gigha
1970 UK STEREO LP
I really like this Lp which is basically a folk duo (David McNiven and Angie Rew) with back up from session greats including Dave Richmond and Danny Thompson.
This is the UK Stereo press ~~1W matrix issue~~of the sought after 2nd album. Although NOT mint (see below) the Lp still sounds pretty good and I don't think you will be disappointed~~it is a long time since I have seen this seminal folk Lp offered at an affordable bid price.
Issue Year~1970
Cat No~ SLK 5048
Matrix No~ 1W
Issue~UK original (+ Decca inner bag)
OVERALL CONDITION
SLEEVE~VG+
(evidence of some vertical tape marks to hold bottom cover together~~more evident on bottom rear ~see scan 2 + bottom left 2cm tear~~but otherwise complete and overall a nice front with NO obvious ringwear)
VINYL~VG+
I have listened to the Lp and it plays without any skips, jumps or distortion. However there are spindle marks and some light scuffs on the playing surface but NO felt marks. There is slight surface noise at the quieter passages but really nothing too serious and still an enjoyable listen. The Lp is almost 40 years old so it is hard to find the perfect copy and I am sure you won't be disappointed with this VG+ graded LP.
Please remember the LP is NOT OFFERED AS MINT but still sounds fine to my ears and it is better than many of the VG copies I have seen listed recently!
GRADING I grade records firstly visually and sample aurally for overall sound quality. Should you feel I have misgraded please remember that I offer a full NO QUIBBLE refund or agreed price reduction if I am off the mark.
NEAR MINT (NM)~~a top copy~audio listening and visual grading has not revealed any imperfections. Lp is guaranteed to sound superb and shows very little sign of playing.
NEAR EXCELLENT (EX or EX+)~~careful visual inspection audio sampling has not revealed any major imperfections such as clicks or skips~~the LP should sound superb and it will be hard to find a better copy. Sleeve and any inserts/inners are in excellent shape. You will not be disappointed.
VG+~~ audio listening has revealed some surface noise or the odd crackle. Visually the Lp may have light scuffs but nothing major though has obviously been played regularly. Sleeve might have light creases or ringwear. The Lp and sleeve will be fine until a better copy comes along.
Remember this is NOT a mint or excellent condition album.
STILL PERFECTLY PLAYABLE AND STILL AN ACCEPTABLE SOUND!!
VG~~not great and will have spindle wear, surface noise and crackles but I will flag up this grading rarely. However, NO deep felt scratches and it should track OK on your deck. This will do till a better copy comes along but is probably worth it for rarity value.
PLEASE BID ACCORDINGLY.
Postage ~~orders over £25 will be sent registered in the UK and INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR or TRACKED (where available) world wide. It costs a bit extra but I am sure you will agree it is worth it.
Postage discount will be applied to 2 or more purchases.
All orders guaranteed professionally packed.
