PATTO-HOLD YOUR FIRE
ORIGINAL LP FROM 1971 ON THE VERTIGO SWIRL LABEL-6360 032-UK PRESSING
GREAT ORIGINAL WITH THE GIMMICK COVER FULLY INTACT.
CONDITION:-
SLEEVE:-THE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.THIS ONE IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO GRADE BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY FRAGILE SLEEVE TO START WITH,AND LETS FACE IT,THE CHANCES OF FINDING ONE IN ANYWHERE NEAR MINT CONDITION IS PRETTY MUCH IMPOSSIBLE.
THE IMPORTANT THING IS,THIS ONE IS ALL STILL INTACT.THERE IS WEAR TO THE EDGES AND SPINE AND A VERY SMALL STICKER TEAR AT THE TOP OF THE VERTIGO LOGO.THERE IS A LITTLE WEAR TO THE EDGES OF THE THREE FOLD OUT PIECES ON THE FRONT,BUT THIS IS MINIMAL CONSIDERING THE FRAGILITY OF THESE PIECES.THE FRONT IS SLIGHTLY DISCOLOURED-I.E:-NOT AS WHITE AS IT ONCE WAS.THE BACK HAS A BIT OF STORAGE WEAR AND SLIGHT RINGWEAR TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM.
THE INSIDE HAS SOME GENERAL WEAR AND RINGWEAR FROM THE BLACK HALF RUBBING ON THE WHITE HALF.
SUMMERY:-QUITE A BIT OF GENERAL STORAGE AND HANDLING WEAR,BUT STILL BETTER THAN A LOT I HAVE SEEN.THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE CONSIDERED IN DECENT SHAPE FOR THIS PARTICULAR SLEEVE.
VINYL:-THE RECORD LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION.THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PAPER SCUFFS AND A FEW SMALL HAIRLINES.THERE IS A SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE WHICH CAN BE FELT WITH A FINGERNAIL.
WHEN I PLAYED THIS RECORD ON A VERY GOOD SYSTEM I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.FROM A LISTENING POINT OF VIEW I WOULD GRADE IT AS VERY GOOD.THERE IS LIGHT CRACKLE AND SURFACE NOISE IN A FEW PLACES,BUT THIS IS SURPRISINGLY UNOBTRUSIVE,AND THE ODD SMALL POP HERE AND THERE.
WHEN I VISUALLY INSPECTED THE VINYL I WAS SURE THAT THE AFFOREMENTIONED SCRATCH ON SIDE ONE WOULD CAUSE PROBLEMS AND ALMOST DEFINATELY JUMP.THIS TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE CASE.I HARDLY NOTICED IT AT ALL,AND UNTIL I INSPECTED IT AGAIN WAS CONVINCED IT MUST BE ON THE OTHER SIDE.THE ONLY EVIDENCE OF THIS BLEMISH IS A FEW CLICKS AND A BIT OF CRACKLE,WHICH REALLY DIDN`T SPOIL MY ENJOYMENT OF THE MUSIC.
SUMMERY:-ALL IN ALL THIS ISN`T AS BAD AS I FIRST THOUGHT IT TO BE.IT HAS BEEN PLAYED A LOT,AND MAYBE NOT THAT WELL HANDLED,BUT I THINK IT IS A TESTAMENT TO THE QUALITY OF THESE PRESSINGS THAT THEY CAN WITHSTAND A FAIR BIT OF USE.CERTAINLY A WORTHY CONSIDERATION FOR ANY VERTIGO COMPLETIST,AND LET`S FACE IT,HOW MANY TIMES DO THEY TURN UP THESE DAYS?
BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN WITH NO WRITING OR TEARS,JUST SPINDLE MARKS.
COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL SWIRL INNER BAG.
