MARY HOPKIN
Those Were The Days
1971 UK APPLE RECORDS first Press~~A1/B1
SAPCOR 23
THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST APPLE ISSUE LPS TO FIND ~~THIS IS OFFERED IN SUPERB CONDITION.
On offer is an virtually mint pressing of the 1971 Mary Hopkin release. This features a fine front cover pic and the sleeve is still in great shape with no ring wear. the rear has a very minimal edge browning while the spine retains its mint condition. I have seen copies of this LP before but the sleeve has always been in poor shape~~BUT NOT THIS ONE!!
The package is completed with the original Apple inner
I have graded the overall sound quality as Ex++ and visual grading as near mint with no evidence of spindle maks at all..
Enjoy!!!
GRADING I grade records both visually and aurally for overall sound quality on a Linn LP12 based system. Should you feel I have misgraded please remember that i offer a full NO QUIBBLE refund or agreed price reduction if I am off the mark.
NEAR MINT (NM)~~audio listening and visual grading has not revealed any imperfections. Lp is guaranteed to sound superb.
NEAR EXCELLENT (EX or EX++)~~audio listening has not revealed any major imperfections such as clicks or skips~~the LP will sound really good and it will be hard to find a better copy. Sleeve and any inserts/inners are in excellent shape. You will not be disappointed.
VG++~~audio listening has revealed some very limited surface noise or the odd crackle~~but overall still sounds fine on the LP 12. Visually the Lp may have light scuffs but nothing major though has obviously been played a few times. sleeve might have light creases or ringwear. The Lp and sleeve will be fine until a better copy comes along.
STILL PERFECTLY PLAYABLE!!
VG~~not great and may have surface noise but I will flag up this grading rarely. Probably worth it for rarity value.
