Jim Ohara Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This has always been rare, but didnt think it was valued at just this much Currently on ebay at over $2000! Was it always worth this much? Jim Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Marc Forrest Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 it sounds a bit distorted..a bit grissly,,,,,the vocals strings etcetera are ok but theres something else goin on in the background that shouldnt be there..they might all be like this.....good record tho..but aint the flipside crap tony the seller even says its destorted but it goes a bit past the intro to my ears acually it sounded almost as bad as a needle burned copy. The record looked clean and nice but because of that destroyed intro I personally wouldnt grade it any higher than VG+. A 1500 UKP maybe 2000 UKP record easily these days in decent (mint minus) conidtion. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Dave Pinch Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) it may just be static who knows... one thing for sure if you were paying $2000 for a record its got to play decent even if there a few marks.......if i dont play well i for one would contemplate sending it back Edited March 27, 2013 by dave pinch Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
