JIM CROCE
“YOU DON’T MESS AROUND WITH JIM”
(1972 VERTIGO RECORDS LP – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING!)
ON OFFER HERE IS THIS RARE UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE STUNNING DEBUT ALBUM “YOU DON’T MESS AROUND WITH JIM” BY JIM CROCE ON VERTIGO RECORDS WITH SWIRL LABELS & SWIRL INNER SLEEVE.
THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS VERTIGO 6360 700
THE MATRIX NUMBERS ARE: 6360700 1Y*1 420 11 1 / 6360700 2Y*1 420 1 1 3
THE SLEEVE
THE GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR. THERE ARE A FEW SLIGHT STAINS AND A SMALL PEN MARK ON THE PREDOMINANTLY WHITE FRONT, WHICH ALSO DISPLAYS SOME VERY MINOR TANNING. THERE IS A SMALL SCUFF ON THE BACK NEAR THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE REST OF THIS GREAT LOOKING SLEEVE IS IN ACE CONDITION. THE LYRICS CAN BE FOUND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. ALL OF THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE NICE AND STRAIGHT AND ALL OF THE TEXT ON THE PRISTINE SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL VERTIGO SWIRL INNER SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION, WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME DISCOLOURATION, CAUSED BY THE GLUE WHICH AFFIXES THE POLY BAG INSIDE THE PAPER SLEEVE.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY GLOSSY BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE JUST FINISHED LISTENING TO BOTH SIDES OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT!
THE LABELS
THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PER LABEL.
