Description
BO DIDDLEY 0 500 PERCENT MORE MAN
CW: STOP MY MONKEY
1966 CHESS ORIGINAL UK PRESS
PLAYS TO A MINT MINUS GRADE
I HAVE A BATCH OF SINGLES THAT BELONGED TO AN AVID COLLECTOR. THIS COLLECTOR WAS METICULOUS WITH HIS RECORDS, AND RECORDED EVERY SINGLE PLAY THAT ANY OF HIS RECORDS RECEIVED. HE KEPT A RED BIRO WITH HIS COLLECTION, AND EVERY PLAY THAT ANY OF THEM RECEIVED EITHER A SIDE OR B SIDE, HE PLACED A RED LINE ON THE SLEEVE.
THEREFORE I CAN BE 100% ACCURATE AS TO EXACTLY HOW MANY PLAYS EACH SINGLE RECEIVED
500 PERCENT MORE MAN= 5 PLAYS
STOP MY MONKEY= 1 PLAYS
CATALOGUE NUMBER:CHESS CRS 8026
MATRIX NUMBER:CRS8026 A-1 H / B-2 H
MOTHERS/STAMPERS:1 R / 1 G
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE BLACK LABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE MARK ON ANY OF THEM, AND THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALL UNRUBBED AND PRISTINE.
THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LABEL.
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED THE ORIGINAL LUSTER AND LOOKS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A COUPLE OF 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 BOTH SIDES OF THE SINGLE AS I DO WITH ANY VINYL I LIST, IN THE BELIEF THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID.
THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS SUPERB, AND I GUARANTEE THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, WHICH IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL FOR 60'S SINGLES AS MOST WERE PLAYED ON AUTOCHANGER RECORD PLAYERS WHERE THE TONE ARM WEIGHED FAR TOO MUCH AND NEEDLES (STYLUS) WERE RARELY REPLACED
THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OR LOUD CLICKS
VIRTUALLY ZERO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND WITH JUST A SPECK AUDIBLE IN THE DEAD WAX
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS ON SIDE TWO
I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SINGLE MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVES
THIS IS A FACTORY ISSUE CHESS PAPER SLEEVE WHICH IS IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION
THE FRONT SURFACE IS STILL VERY BRIGHT.FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SPLITS
AS I MENTIONED AT THE TOP OF THE LISTING, THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS NEATLY MARKED EACH PLAY AND THERE ARE 5 MARKS FOR THE A SIDE AND 1 FOR THE B SIDE. ALSO THE DATE HE ACQUIRED THE SINGLE IS PENNED INTO THE TOP CORNER
THE TOP EDGE HAS ONE SMALL NICK
THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT
FOR ME THIS SLEEVE GRADES NEAR MINT. I APPRECIATE THAT SOME WON'T AGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE IT HAS WRITING ON THE FRONT, BUT TO ME THIS IS AUTHENTIC HISTORICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS VINYL, AND I BELIEVE IT ENHANCES THE SINGLE
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
