THIN LIZZY - VAGABONDS OF THE WESTERN WORLD
IN A MAGNIFICENT 1 PLAY MINT CONDITION
THIN LIZZY'S THIRD ALBUM, AND IN THE MOST UNBELIEVEABLE CONDITION IMAGINABLE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND AND LIST AN UNPLAYED MINT COPY ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO BETTER THAT, BUT ALTHOUGH THIS COPY HAS HAD ONE VERY CAREFUL PLAY, THE SLEEVE IS JUST IMMACULATE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE AS SUPERB AS THIS, AND EVERY COMPONENT PART IS ALSO IN THE SAME INCREDIBLE CONDITON
- CAT; DECCA SKL 5170
- MATRIX: ZAL 12520P-5W / ZAL 12521P-3W (THESE ARE THE CORRECT NUMBERS FOR A FIRST PRESS)
THIS IS AN AMAZING FIND. A ONCE PLAYED MINT CONDITION VAGABONDS ALBUM.
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE DEEP BLUE AND SILVER DECCA LABELS ARE IMMACULATE. THERE IS NOTHING TO DETRACT FROM THE MINT STATUS THEY DESERVE. THE BLUE FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH INCIDENTALLY STILL HAS RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE FROM THE PRESSING. THERE IS JUST ONE REALLY SMALL AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THIS PRECIOUS LP HAS HAD JUST THE ONE PLAY EVER!!!
THE VINYL
IMMACULATE GLOSSY, UNMARKED MINT CONDITION VINYL, I CAN SAY NO MORE THAN THAT REALLY. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR BLEMISHES ON EITHER SIDE. THIS IS THE GENUINE HEAVY FIRST PRESS DISC, AND IT IS JUST INCREDIBLE
PLAYING THE RECORD
ALL THE WORDS IN THE WORLD IN MY OPINION ARE NOT AS GOOD AS BEING ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL RECORD YOU ARE THINKING OF BIDDING FOR, AND THATS WHY I HAVE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS ME TO DO JUST THAT FOR YOU.
PLAYING AN ALBUM THAT IS THIS CLEAN IS JUST A REAL PLEASURE. YOU CAN TELL JUST BY LOOKING AT HOW AN ALBUM SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED HOW THE ACTUAL VINYL IS GOING TO LOOK AND MORE IMPORTANTLY SOUND
I HAVE JUST RECORDED FOUR COMPLETE TRACKS TO ALLOW YOU TO JUDGE THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THIS ALBUM. THE FIRST TRACK ON EITHER SIDE ARE HERE TO INCLUDE THE RUN IN DEAD WAX, AS WELL AS ONE OTHER RANDOM TRACK PER SIDE WHICH WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE LINKING GROOVE BEFORE AND AFTER THE TRACK ITSELF.
THIS IS SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THE SILENT PASSAGES TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF JUST HOW INCREDIBLE THIS ALBUM REALLY IS
THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, NOR IS THERE ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLES, OR POPS OR CLICKS OR EVEN ANY STATIC. THIS IS AS GOOD AS ANY ALBUM GETS I GUARANTEE IT.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST PURE FIRST PRESS AND I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS VINYL MINT!!!!
THE SLEEVE
THIS IS THE BEST SLEEVE I HAVE EVER COME ACCROSS ON THIS LP. IT HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW, AND BEARING IN MIND IT HAS HAD JUST ONE PLAY EVER, THE SLEEVE AND COMPONENT PARTS HAVE JUST NOT BEEN HANDLED AND ARE THEREFORE IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE
THE MOST VULNERABLE SECTION OF THE SLEEVE IS RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE REAR SURFACE WHERE THE BLACK POWDERY FINISH IS ALMOST ALWAYS RUBBED AWAY DUE TO RING WEAR. YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE CONDITION OF THIS ONE!!! READ ON....
THE FRONT SURFACE IS CREASE FREE, AND MARK FREE. THE COLOURS HAVE STAYED TRUE AND FAST AND THERE IS NO FADING OR WEAR TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER. IT'S A FAIRLY FLIMSY SLEEVE AND YET THERE IS NOT A CREASE ON IT, EVEN THE SMALL LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE ARE RESTRICTED TO JUST ONE. THE ONLY BLEMISH ON THE ENTIRE SLEEVE IS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER HAS A SMALL DING WHERE I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT IT WAS LIGHTLY DROPED ON THIS CORNER AT SOME POINT. THE CLOSE UP PICTURE WILL SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN, BUT A VERY SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR A SLEEVE THAT IS OTHERWISE TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE NO SHELF WEAR AT ALL, AND THE SPINE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.TOTALLY FLAT ANURUBBED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP WITH NO NICKS OR ANYTHING. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST MADE TODAY.
THE REAR SURFACE AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ALWAYS SUFFERS FROM RUBBING, BUT NOT THIS ONE. AGAIN CHECK OUT THE CLOSE UP PIS AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK, CREASE LINE OR AND SIGN OR WEAR WHATSOEVER TO THE INCREDIBLY DELICATE BLACK POWDERY SURFACE
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS THE DECCA ORIGINAL AND AGAIN FROM THIS YOU CAN EASILY JUDGE THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE. THERE IS NOT A MARK OR CREASE ON IT, AND IT IS AS FLAT AS I HAVE EVER SEEN AN INNER SLEEVE. NATURALLY NO SEAM SPLITS
THE OFTEN LOST LYRIC INSERT IS ALSO IN A TOTALLY MINT STATE. JUST INCREDIBLE!!!
THIS WAS ONLY EVER AVAILABLE ON THE EARLIEST PRESSES OF THIS ALBUM
SO WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS JUST ABOUT THE BEST COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM THAT YOU COULD EVER WISH TO FIND, AND IT WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTION IN THE WORLD. YOU ARE NEVER EVER GOING TO NEED TO UPGRADE THIS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO FOR IT
