RINGO STARR'S SECOND ALBUM RELEASED IN OCTOBER 1970. THE RECORD SOLD VERY POORLY AND COMPLETELY FAILED TO CHART. RINGO HAD DECIDED TO RECORD AN ALBUM OF COUNTRY AND WESTERN TRACKS AND WENT TO NASHVILLE TO RECORD THIS LP. IT TOOK 2 DAYS TO RECORD.

CLEARLY THE RECORD BUYING PUBLIC CHOSE NOT TO ENDORSE THIS CHOICE, AND THUS THIS LP IS NOW QUITE HARD TO FIND, PARTICULARLY IN THIS SUPERB CONDITION

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

BOTH LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE GREEN APPLE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE WHITE SIDE IS PURE WHITE ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE ON BOTH SIDES BEING UNRUBBED. THERE IS JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC SPIDER LINE NEXT TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THE LP HAS BEEN PLAYED.

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, IT LOOKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID WHEN IT EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE

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 FIRMLY 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 LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS. IT IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A STUNNING AUDIO PERFORMANCE FROM THE VINYL.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, NOR ARE THERE ANY LOUD CLICKS

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY THE ODD SPLIT SECOND OF BARELY AUDBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
