BRIAN DAVISON'S - EVERY WHICH WAY

IN MAGNIFICENT  1-2 PLAY CONDITION 

FIRST PRESS ON THE RARE PINK SCROLL LABEL

TEST PRESSING

UNPRINTED/INCORRECT LABELS

• CATALOGUE:CHARISMA CAS 1021
• MATRIX: CAS1025 A-1U / B-2U
• MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1 P / 1 P

THIS IS A VERY RARE AND AS FAR AS I AM AWARE ONE OF A KIND TEST PRESS!

THE LABEL TO SIDE 2 IS JUST THE PINK CHARISMA LABEL AND HAS NO TRACK LISTING ON IT WHATSOEVER. SOMEONE HAS WRITTEN 'SIDE 2' IN BIRO ON IT, WHILST SIDE ONE DOES HAVE SIDE 1 LABELS AND THE TRACK LISTING, BUT THE TRACK LIST IS ACTUALLY THE SIDE 2 TRACK LIST.

SO IN SHORT WE HAVE SIDE ONE LABELS ON THE CORRECT SIDE OF THE DISC BUT WITH SIDE 2'S TRACK LIST, AND SIDE 2 HAS NO TRACK LIST WHATSOEVER

CLEARLY A HURRIED TEST PRESS THAT WENT ALL WRONG!!!!

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE PINK SCROLL CHARISMA LABELS ARE AS NOTED ABOVE INCORRECT AND MISSING TEXT AND HAVING WRONG TEXT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LABELS. SO HANDWRITING WAS USED TO CORRECT THIS FOR THE LISTENER. HAVING SAID THIS THE PINK COLOUR RUNS FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THERE ARE JUST 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION, NO  LOSS OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE WHATSOEVER. IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD LOOKS IMMACULATE AND UNBLEMISHED IN ANY WAY, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF NIGH ON INVISIBLE TINY WISPY HAIRLINES. AND A TINY DULL PATCH AND ONE HANDLING LINE

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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS, AND THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE CLARITY IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.

SIDE ONE HAS A HALF A DOZEN OR SO BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS HERE AND THERE AT RANDOM, WHILST SIDE 2 PLAYS WITH JUST PERHAPS A COUPLE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING SUPERB LP MINT MINUS!! NEAR MINT AT WORST

TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE

USUALLY THIS FLIMSY SLEEVE IS FOUND WITH SEVERE CREASES AND HORRIBLE AMOUNTS OF LAMINATE LIFT, BUT HERE WE HAVE A SUPERB BARELY AFFECTED ORIGINAL SLEEVE

THE BLACK GLOSSY LAMINATE SHINES LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND LOOKS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO RINGWEAR

THERE ARE JUST FOUR SMALL LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, AND ONE MORE ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE TOP RIGHT CORNER DOES HAVE SOME OF THE BLACK SURFACE MISSING AS THERE IS A TINY SHIP TO THE LAMINATE THERE.

THERE IS ONE SMALL PATCH OF LAMINATE LIFT NEAR THE SPINE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR WHICH IS ALSO A REAL RARITY ON THIS SLEEVE. JUST THE VERY VERY TIP END OF THE TOP RIGHT CORNER HAS A PIN PRICK OF WHITE PEEKING THROUGH

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT AND RUNS FROM TIP TOP TIP WHERE ONCE AGAIN JUST A PIN PRICK OF WHITE SHOWS AT EACH TIP END. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP, NOT EVEN ANY THUMB NAIL NICKS EITHER

THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS STUNNING AS THE FRONT, WITH JUST ONE SMALL LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND ONE SLIGHTLY LARGER PATCH OF LAMINATE LIFT ALSO ON THE SPINE EDGE

THE ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE IS THE CORRECT PLAIN WHITE INNER WITH 'MADE IN ENGLAND' IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. ITS UNSPLIT, WITH JUST SOME LIGHT WRINKLES

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
