GALLIARD "Strange Pleasure"
This record is in really great condition and plays extremely well !!!
With regard to the earlier condition description there is one other point I would like to add as I ran out of space.I mentioned that the name "Beppo" had been put over Les Pedreza's name and it is because of this that I have downgraded the cover to a VG+.
Interestingly though when you look on Popsike at the previous records that have sold there are some very similar examples of this crossing out on the rear cover so I'm wondering whether this was done to them all ???
The record as already mentioned in the condition description has some light hairlines / insertion marks and a couple of light scuffs and some light creasing and foxing of the sleeve (but I am being very critical)
The record also comes with its original inner blue stereo sleeve as well as a replacement high quality anti - static sleeve and a new quality grade plastic outer sleeve for protection
(please see the attached photos for a better understanding of the rear sleeve condition)
Welcome to my record auctions !!
Many records are from my own personal collection and currently some from a neighbour which I am selling on their behalf.
Each record has been cleaned twice each side(at least) on a Project VC-S MK II record cleaning machine using Mobile Fidelity cleaning products.After cleaning they are placed in new anti-static inner sleeves and a new protective outer cover.
The wet clean vacuuming process makes a huge difference as it reduces dust,surface marks(not scratches) and significantly reduces background noise to give a much improved soundstage.
Most of my records are original/early pressings which in my opinion sound far superior to modern pressings.
A word about hairline marks and light scratches.It is almost impossible to find an older non sealed record without some marks as many records had them from new as a result of the inners that they were placed in.
Many records also have background noise which varies according to the quality of the original pressing.I will endeavour to list any faults etc in all of my listings.
I also try to listen to most records or at least parts of tracks after cleaning to assess the sound quality and my two turntables are vintage (30 yrs old) Bang & Olufsen which both are serviced regularly and have superior B&O cartridges fitted.
I take the grading seriously and will usually undergrade as everyone's idea of grading is totally different and very subjective.
