Description
T.REX - ELECTRIC WARRIOR
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN A STAGGERING MINT MINUS ORIGINAL PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC LP.
PRESSED ON THE FLY RECORD LABEL, CATALOGUE NUMBER : HIFLY 6
MATRIX NUMBERS: HIFLY6 A-1E / B-1E
ABSOLUTE FIRST PRESS INDICATORS
THIS IS SO HARD TO FIND IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION, AS MOST OF THESE RECORDS WERE PLAYED TO DEATH WHEN FIRST ISSUED AS IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER , BUT FEW HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME, AND THOSE THAT HAVE ARE GENERALLY THE REPRESS ON THE CUBE LABEL.
EVEN THE SLEEVE WHICH HISTORICALLY SUFFERS A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH IN THIS CASE HAS MINOR BLEMISHES.
SO LETS START WITH THE SLEEVE.
IT WAS MADE OF VERY THIN CARD, MUCH TINNER THAN MOST AND THEREFORE SUFFERS BIG TIME FROM HORRENDOUS RING WEAR, AND HEAVY CREASING. HOWEVER THIS EXAMPLE HAS VIRTUALLY NO RING WEAR, JUST A FAINT TRACE, AND THE ONLY CREASES ARE THE SMALL LINES WHICH ARE SITUATED CLOSE TO THE TOP EDGE AND SPINE, BUT NOTHING LIKE THE WEAR THAT MOST EXAMPLES SHOW. IN FACT THE REAR SURFACE IS EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE FRONT.
THE INNER SLEEVE FEATURING PICS OF BOLAN AND FINN IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, A LITTLE STAINING BUT NO SPLITS
I WOULD HAPPILY GRADE THE SLEEVE VG++
SADLY THERE IS NO POSTER WITH THIS ISSUE
THE RECORD HOWEVER IS THE REAL PRIZE HERE. IT IS WITHOUT QUESTION IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION.
PRISTINE LABELS WITH NO SPINDLE HOLE WEAR, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF REALLY LIGHT SPIDER LINES TO INDICATE JUST HOW LITTLE THE DISC HAS BEEN PLAYED.
THE SURFACE OF THE VINYL IS SPOTLESS, CLEAN, AND HAS NO MARKS WHATSOEVER. EVEN UNDER THE STRONGEST LIGHT THERE ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF LIGHT WISPS.
I HAVE PLAYED THIS LP ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND I CAN HONESTLY SAY YOU COULD NOT GET A BETTER EXPERIENCE EVEN IF THE LP WAS BRAND NEW. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND ON THE RUN IN, AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE PERFECTLY SILENT.
THE MUSIC IS INCREDIBLE, WITH A STUNNING STEREO MIX AND A HUGE PRODUCTION.
NO DISTORTION, NO SCRATCHES, NO POPS, CLICK OR JUMPS.
THE ONLY NOISES I HEARD AND I AM BEING RIDICULOUSLY PICKY HERE IS THE ODD AND I MEAN VERY ODD BIT OF STATIC, AND IT WAS BARELY AUDIBLE.
IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS A MINT SLEEVE AND POSTER AND THE RECORD IS TRASHED, THEN THIS WILL MAKE YOUR SET THE BEST ON THE MARKET.
SLEEVE COULD BE BETTERED, BUT THE VINYL WILL NEVER EVER NEED UPGRADING
