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

 THE GREEN APPLE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT. 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 1-2 MINUSCULE 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 COUPLE OF TINY WISPY HAIRLINES.

THE TEST PLAY

THE RECORD PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION

 A CLEAN CRISP AUDIO THAT IS FREE FROM ANY DISTORTION

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO CLICKS OR POPS

NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES

JUST THE ODD SPECK OF VERY LOW-LEVEL STATIC IN A FEW OF THEM

THIS AUDIO GRADES MINT MINUS

BUT TAKE A LISTEN AND GRADE IS AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SUPERB LAMINATED GATEFOLD INSIDE AND OUTSIDE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN

THE LAMINATE IS VERY GLOSSY AND HAS NO LIFT, PEEL OR FLAKE

THERE IS ONBE THIN SCUFF LINE JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE

THERE ARE TWO TINY PRESSURE LINES IN THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ONE THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM LAMINATED EDGES ARE BOTH UNWORN,AND THE LAMINATED SURFACE RUNS FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP, WITH UNBLEMISHED CORNER TIPS

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 UNRUBBED

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PUT TOGETHER. 

THE REAR SURFACE HAS TWO SPIDER STYLE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE AND ONE NEAR THE OPENING 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. 

THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT ORIGINAL UNSPLIT CONDITION. JUST PRISTINE

HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT

 

 

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
