HAWKWIND - HURRY ON SUNDOWN
B: MIRROR OF ILLUSION
THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE RAREST HAWKWIND SINGLE ON THE PLANET, AND THE ONE THAT NO COLLECTION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT.
ON OFFER HERE IS I BELIEVE THE MOST IMPRESSIVE COPY EVER TO BE OFFERED FOR AUCTION ON EBAY, MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP!
ADDED TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A DEMO COPY, AND YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS QUITE SPECIAL
THE RECORD COMES IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SLEEVE WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
THE LABELS ARE IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. SHOWING NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR ON EITHER SIDE OF THE HOLE, AND LOOKING CAREFULLY I AM ONLY ABLE TO MAKE OUT 2-3 SPIDER LINES WHICH TELL ME THAT THE RECORD HAS HAD FEWER PLAYS THAN 5 IN ITS LIFETIME.
A BONUS AS WELL IS THAT THERE IS NO WRITING ON EITHER LABEL WHICH OFTEN HAPPENS PARTICULARLY ON DEMONSTRATION COPIES.
- THE CATALOGUE NUMBER:LBF 15382
- MATRIX NUMBERS: LBF15382 A-1 / B-1
ON CLOSER INSPECTION THE MATRIX NUMBER ON SIDE ONE HAS BEEN SCRATCHED OUT BECAUSE THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A FACTORY ERROR AS THE SCRATCHED OUT NUMBER IS 153852. THE MISTAKE HAS BEEN RECTIFIED DURING THE PRESSING AS BOTH NUMBERS ARE MACHINE STAMPED AND THE SCRATCHING IS ALSO MACHINE GENERATED.
THE VINYL IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING , AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES.
GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE ONE , THE RUN IN IS NEAR SILENT, AND HERE IS THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS THIS DISC FROM BEING A 100% MINT COPY. THERE IS A VERY VERY LIGHT BIT OF BACKGROUND DURING THE FIRST FEW ROTATIONS OF THE PLAY ON EITHER SIDE. THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY MARKS ON THE VINYL BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ANY, IT HAS TO BE PART OF THE PRESSING, BUT LIKE I SAY IT IS MINIMAL AND ONLY LASTS A FEW SECONDS. THEREAFTER THE DISC PLAYS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLY THROUGHOUT.
IT WILL NOT NEED UPGRADING EVEN IF YOU ARE ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER, AND COLLECTORS OUT THERE SHOULD IN MY OPINION SEE THIS AS AN INVESTMENT, BECAUSE IT IS ONLY EVER GOING TO INCREASE IN RARITY, AND PRICE.
SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST COPY MONEY CAN BUY, THEN LOOK NO MORE BECAUSE IT IS SITTING RIGHT INFRONT OF YOU
