IAN CARR with NUCLEUS
Solar Plexus

ORIGINAL UK VERTIGO (6360 039) FIRST *LARGE SWIRL* PRESSING OF IAN CARR'S "Solar Plexus" - RECORDED WITH NUCLEUS BUT CREDITED SOLELY TO CARR ON THE LABEL
AND EVEN THOUGH THIS COPY HAS CLEARLY BEEN FREQUENTLY ENJOYED OVER THE YEARS (there are quite a few spindle traces) IT STILL DELIVERS SUPERB, PRACTICALLY FLAWLESS AUDIO REPRODUCTION THROUGHOUT (ON MY SYSTEM - AT A VERY LOUD VOLUME!) (it's been very carefully handled) - GREAT COPY - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

LABELS: The labels are clean and bright with no unwanted marks/writing but they do display quite a few spindle traces - this copy has clearly been frequently enjoyed over the years (on a top-end system) but it has also been extremely well cared for and handled as is evident from the practically unmarked surfaces and the beautiful audio it delivers
VINYL Visual: The vinyl surfaces still retain their original deep, glossy sheen with no dulling and they are practically unmarked - there are some light hairlines but these have little audio consequence (see detailed audio assessment below)
VINYL Audio: Outstanding audio delivery in all respects with a crystal clear, deep, rich, warm and detailed sound and on playback at a loud volume (which is how I always listen to my LPs prior to listing) there are no scratches, no sticks or jumps, no surface noise and barely any click/pops (just the a couple of minor light 'ticks' on the quiet beginning but little elsewhere). This is a beautifully clean pressing which plays to a very, very high standard with great clarity, no groove-wear, no distortion, sounds superb and is strictly graded EXCELLENT + for audio - great copy - as even though it's been well played it still delivers beautiful, practically flawless sound
SLEEVE: The sleeve is in VERY GOOD++ condition - it looks a little 'tired' with storage wear to the edges and spine - but all text is still clear. There is rubbing to the surfaces (please see photos) but the whole sleeve is good and solid with no structural damage and no marks/writing. Overall, a very acceptable copy of this easily worn/rubbed untreated cover
the Vertigo Swirl inner sleeve is in beautiful, NEAR MINT condition - clean, white and unmarked with no splits
