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

THIS IS A NON LAMINATED MATTE SINGLE SLEEVE FROM BRIER PRESS
