Description
THE SWEET - STRUNG UP
OUTSTANDING NEAR MINT AUDIO
EX+ SLEEVE
THIS COPY HAS A VERY BIG ERROR ON THE INSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD MAKING IT ONE OF THE VERY FIRST ISSUES MADE
- CATALOGUE:RCA LPL SPC001
- MATRIX:SPC001 A-2E / B-2E / C-2E / D-3E
SERIOUS ERROR WHEN PUTTING THIS ALBUM TOGETHER, EITHER THAT OR THE INITIAL ARTWORK PRESENTED TO THEM WAS INCORRECT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE LEFT PANEL OF THE INNER GATEFOLD YOU WILL SEE THAT SIDE ONE HAS THE TRACK LISTING FOR SIDE TWO, AND SIDE TWO HAS THE TRACK LISTING FOR SIDE ONE. THE LP OPENS UP WITH 'HELL RAISER', NOT 'DONE ME WRONG'. I HAVE CHECKED TWO OTHER COPIES AND BOTH HAVE THE CORRECT TRACK LISTING FOR THE SIDES, BUT THIS ONE SOMEHOW WAS MADE IN ERROR. RCA NOTICED THIS MISTAKE AND INCLUDED A SEPARATE INSERT DETAILING THE PROBLEM. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE ORIGINAL SET LIST THAT THIS ALBUM WAS TAKEN FROM HAD DONE ME WRONG AS THE OPENING TRACK, BUT RCA DECIDED TO CHANGE THE TRACK LISING
TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON EITHER SIDE. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE JET BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AT ALL AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
THE RECORD HAS STILL RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN SEE VERY FINE WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF VERY FINE HANDLING HAIRLINES (ALL SURFACE ONLY)
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. I AM CONVINCED 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
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE ALBUM WHERE THE RECORDING HAS BEEN DONE LOUDLYL. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO ANY PART OF THE SOUND. THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS FIRST CLASS, AND THERE IS NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES ETC AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ALL
THERE IS THE ODD LITTLE BIT OF VERY VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND IN THE QUIETEST OF MOMENTS LIKE BETWEEN A COUPLE OF THE TRACKS IN THE LINKING GROOVES, WHICH AMOUNT TO NOTHING MORE THAN A TINY BIT OF STATIC LIKE SOUND .I ALSO HEARD A FEW LITTLE TICS DURING THE PLAY WITH THREE COMING RIGHT AT THE START OF SIDE THREE IN THE RUN IN TO 'ACTION'
BUT PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE VINYL EASILY PLAYS TO EX+
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE FROM ROBERT STACE AND CO
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED MOST OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS WITH A SMALL ARC OF RING WEAR VISIBLE JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE, OR SIDE EDGE TO BE MORE EXACT
THE CORNERS ALSO HAVE A LITTLE RUB TO THE EDGES
THERE IS JUST ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, THREE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND THREE THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE. THERE ARE ALSO SOME NEAR INVISIBLE SMALL SCRATCH LINES VISIBLE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE TOP EDGES HAVE LIGHT SHELF WEAR TO THE CORNERS, AND SOME SMALL WHITE PATCHES ALONG THE SURFACES.THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE SIMILAR WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE RUB BEING ON THE FRONT SURFACE
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SQUASHING. THERE IS RUB TO THE LEADING EDGES, AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS
THE OPENING EDGES HAVE LIGHT BURRING AND A FEW TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS THE FRONT ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO RING WEAR JUST A LIGHT SHADOW OF GREYING IN THE SAME PLACE
THE ORIGINAL RCA DIE CUT INNER SLEEVES ARE INCLUDED. THEY FREE FROM SEAM SPLITS, HAVE A COUPLE OF TINY CREASES, AND ONE IS SLIGHTLY BROWNER THAN THE OTHER
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
