Ian Seaman Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 talking about the original copy has anyone with one noticed if they play with a bit of noise or not ?? Been told they weren't pressed on virgin vinyl so aren't best quality, every time i hear it out it sounds great but big systems do make poor records sound fine. Or is it just old cloth eared me lol Ian.
Ian Seaman Posted June 22, 2013 Author Posted June 22, 2013 I have read some of the other threads on the subject, "a tinny recording" seems to be a few comments ?

Guest chorleybloke Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Nowt wrong wi mine either Ian Cheers Pete
Phild Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Mine sounds great. And is one of the loudest recordings I've ever heard
Robbk Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 I had the first one found. It was pristine mint and sounded fine on its first play.

Quinvy Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 And to think it used to be rare. Still can't do smileys on this bloody iPad.
Phild Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 And to think it used to be rare. Still can't do smileys on this bloody iPad. No. We thought it was. It was just that the other 343 copies hadn't turned up back then 1
Guest gordon russell Posted June 24, 2013 Posted June 24, 2013 And to think it used to be rare. Still can't do smileys on this bloody iPad. l had it in 85
Ian Seaman Posted June 24, 2013 Author Posted June 24, 2013 yes i do have rather sensitive hearing, stood far too long next to 155mm artillery howitzers if you had the 1st copy found or had it in 85 doesn't really seem relevant cheers lol it's just the fidelity i,m interested in or was, seems that most play well but after been told most copies pressed on crappy cheap vinyl it would seem most or all are ok ! Cheers for info, Ian.
Guest gaz thomas Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 if your copy is rough it is worth exactly 50 percent,of a mint one and that is if it plays ok i would give you 250 ukp for the 45 probably less next year why ? I dont thnk its a rare 45 anymoe
Chalky Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 It still is rare in the grand scheme of things and I dare say most of the copies up for sale are copies that have been about for a long time just doing the rounds. £250 you are having a laugh aren't you?
Robbk Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I wonder why several of them ended up with lousy sound quality. I would be very surprised to find out they had more than one press run. The record got NO airplay whatsoever locally on KGFJ, and no airplay on Bay Area's KGFJ, and also no airplay on WVON in Chicago. So, I doubt that it got aany airplay anywhere-(and therefore-no sales). I found it in a bargain bin at L.A. South Central's Pat's Records (probably only a couple months after it first reached record shops). With no sales, I doubt that they would have pressed it again. On the other hand, if there were a pressing accident first, I suppose they would have another run to produce saleable records. Could a cutting accident happen in the middle of a run (perhaps a miniscual change in the cutting angle?).

I have had this happen on some of my releases in the past. They can look perfect and play perfect, then the next box can all play rough
