DAVE BURLAND - YOU CAN'T FOOL THE FAT MAN

RARE FOLK ALBUM 

PLAYS EX+

EX+ SLEEVE

THE RECORD LABELS

THE BLUELABELS ARE MAGNIFICENT. DEEP RED ND THE COLOUR HAS NO MARKS OR FADING AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPIDLE HOLE

THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

HEAVY 1ST PRESS IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL WISPY HAIRLINES

THE TEST PLAY

THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO PRESS THE AUDIO BUTTONS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE TO HEAR IT 

FIRSTLY THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS CRISP AND CLEAR, AND CLEAN

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER

NO HEAVY CRACKLE 

SILENT LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD JUST A FEW TINY LITTLE DUST POPS DURING THE PLAY

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC NEAR MINT FOR THE AUDIO

DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORK FOR IT, PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THIS IS A NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE FROM BRIER PRESS

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS A CLEAN AND UNRUBBED COLOURS THAT ARE STILL RICH AND VIBRANT

THERE ARE THREE PRESSURE LINES ON THE SPINE. THREE ON THE TOP EDGE. ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
