Description



HOWLIN' WOLF - MOANIN' IN THE MOONLIGHT

IS STUNNING EXCELLENT PLUS / NEAR MINT PLAYTHROUGH CONDITION

OUTSTANDING MINT MINUS!! SLEEVE

 

  • CATALOGUE:CHESS CRL 4006
  • MATRIX:CRL4006 A1 / B1

 

  • THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE SMOOTH JET BLACK LABELS ARE STILL VERY RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY RUN INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THE GOLD TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED

THERE ARE 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL IS HEAVYWEIGHT AND IN GLEAMING CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS  ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS AND ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE AFEW WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF FINE NON SOUNDING HANDLING LINES VISIBLE. A FEW DULL STREAKS AS WELL WHICH IS VERY COMMON FOR VINYL OF THIS AGE AND TYPE

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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY 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 FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE FEW PLAYS THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

SECONDLY THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS AS CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL EITHER

THE VINYL PLAYS JUST SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITH A LITTLE VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN SOME PLACES

THERE ARE SOME RANDOM  VERY LIGHT TICS AND POPS BUT ONLY ON A  COUPLE OF OCCASIONS

THE DISC GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS FOR SIDE ONE AND NEAR MINT FOR SIDE TWO

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO IT, AND YOU BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

THIS IS A LAMINATED FRONT , UNLAMINATED FLIPBACKED REAR GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND  FREE FROM ANY HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES , BENDS OR FOLDS

THE LAMINATE STILL GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND I DOUBT THERE IS A BETTER EXAMPLE OUT THERE

THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. ZERO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP EDGE IS STILL FULLY LAMINATED AND THIS RUNS UNINTERRUPTED FROM CORNER TO CORNER.EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED. THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A VERY SIMILAR APPEARANCE. AGAIN THE LAMINATE IS NEAR PERFECT WITH JUST THE RIGHT CORNER TIP LIGHTLY RUBBED

THE  SPINE IS FLAT AND IN  UNSQUASHED CONDITION. THE LAMINATE RUNS PERFECTLY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WITH EVEN THE TIPS UNRUBBED. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO STILL VERY SHARP CONDITION, WITH JUST A LITTLE ROUGHNESS DUE TO THE THICKNESS OF THE CARD

THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE IS STILL INCREDIBLY WHITE UNUSUALLY SO, BECAUSE MOST HAVE SOILED BADLY OF HEAVILY AGED. THIS ONE ONLY HAVE THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE AT THE VERY TOP. THE FLIPBACKS ARE IMMACULATE AND PERFECTLY ADHERED

THE PYE ADVERTISING RICE PAPER LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED . IT IS IMMACULATE WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WRINKLES. IT IS FLAT AND UNSPLIT AND VERY CLEAN. A SHADE OF AGEING TO THE EDGES

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS!!!

 

 

 

 

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

GARRY
