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
THIS OWNER WAS METICULOUS WITH HIS ALBUMS AND THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL AND SLEEVE DENOTES THIS EXACTLY. HOWEVER HE DECIDED TO PLACE HIS NAME ON ONE SIDE OF THE LABEL. IT IS IN A VERY LIGHT NEAR INVISIBLE SILVER PEN, MORE LIKE A SECURITY MARKER. HARD TO SEE UNLESS YOU ANGLE THE ALBUM INTO THE LIGHT. NEVERTHE LESS IT IS THERE ON THE GREEN SIDE. THE GREEN APPLE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT OTHERWISE. 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 ARE NO MORE THAN 2-3 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
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 WAS FIRST PRESSED IN 1970
AND ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION AM I ABLE TO MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A FEW SWIRLY CLEANING LINES
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
YOU WILL HEAR POSSIBLY THE ODD SECOND OR TWO OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE QUIETER MOMENTS,LIKE THE LINKING GROOVES, AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT!!!
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. CONSIDERING HOW THIN THE CARD IS THE SLEEVE HAS CLEARLY BEEN PROTECTED FROM DAY ONE!!!
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN.THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR AND IS QUITE SUPERB. THERE IS NO LAMINATE LIFT OR PEEL, AND THERE ARE NO MARKS OR DENTS EITHER. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES.
THERE ARE NO! LAMINATE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. NONE EITHER ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM LAMINATED EDGES ARE BOTH UNWORN,AND THE LAMINATED SURFACE RUNS FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP, AND THIS IS BECAUSE THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE SINCE NEW.
THE SPINE IS PRISTINE, TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE MINT!!!
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER. IT CLEAR THAT THIS LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME INCREDIBLE CONDITION AS THE FRONT. JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC LINE NEXT TO THE TOP EDGE.
OPENING THE GATEFOLD ON THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE REVEALS ANOTHER PAIR OF MIRROR FINISHED PANELS WHICH ARE JUST HIGHLY POLISHED. THE SLEEVE JUST LIKE THE SGT. PEPPER SLEEVE CREAKS WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP. IF FORCED FLAT THE LAMINATE LIFTS OR FLAKES AWAY FROM THE SPINE. THIS SLEEVE HASN'T EVER HAD THAT HAPPEN AND WILL NOT LAY FLAT AT ALL UNLESS FORCED
THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT ORIGINAL UNSPLIT CONDITION. JUST PRISTINE
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
