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
THE ONLY STATIC I HEARD WAS FOR A FEW REVOLUTIONS AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, AND A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES ON SIDE TWO
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS !!!
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 STOOD THE TEST OF TIME INCREDIBLY WELL.
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 JUST THREE SMALL LAMINATE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, THREE LONG THE TOP, AND THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM. NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM LAMINATED EDGES ARE BOTH UNWORN,WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER,APART FROM A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE VERY BOTTOM RIGHT TIP END.
THE SPINE IS PRISTINE, TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE INTACT, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
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 HAS JUST TWO TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND THATS ALL. AGAIN A GLEAMING MIRROR LIKE SHEEN TO THE SURFACE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD ON THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE REVEALS ANOTHER PAIR OF MIRROR FINISHED PANELS WHICH ARE JUST HIGHLY POLISHED. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LAMINATE LINES ON THE LEFT PANEL
THE ORIGINAL APPLE INNER SLEEVE IS IN ORIGINAL UNSPLIT CONDITION. NO CREASES OR WRINKLES JUST A TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE AND A LITTLE AGEING TO THE SEAMS
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT !!!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
