St*neyBl*ke / Mint-Minus Records is currently using a KEITH MONKS 'Prodigy' professional record-cleaning machine to enhance the vinyl service.
The Prodigy is the latest model of record-cleaning machine (available for the first time in 2020), from the World-renowned Keith Monks company and is already receiving excellent reviews in the HI-Fi press.
The machine has been acquired in order to increase the quality of the vinyl that is sold through this site to the highest level possible, and the machine does give excellent results.
What difference does this make to the records that are advertised here?
From this point on ALL vinyl that I sell will have been cleaned using this machine, combined with a specially formulated KEITH MONKS or ART DU SON record-cleaning solution made from pure bio-degradable ingredients.
PROCEDURE
1) Firstly the disc will be cleaned as described above
2) The disc will then be FULLY play-graded, to enable an accurate grading for the advert.
I am happy to offer this service.
This is done on a very high quality Linn Sondek turntable fitted with a £100 Goldring Moving-magnet cartridge.
Gradings are made according to the Record Collector Magazine grading system.
This is the 5th LP by Free - a live album released at the end of 1971.
Released on the Island Records label.
Catalogue number: ILPS 9160
Runout matrixes:
1972 pressing
Pink-rim labels
Sleeve by Robor. Printed stamps on opening envelope design.
Card inner sleeve.
This 1972 pressing is quite rare, with copies rarely turning up for sale. Only 1 copy of this version has sold on Discogs since August 2020.
In addition, being over 50 years old it would be very difficult to find a second pressing in such superb condition, with so little surface noise and background crackle as this.
The whole of the album is simply not spoiled by these common problems.
It is also one of the best live albums ever made! (Not just in my opinion!)
Paul Rodgers. Paul Kossoff, Simon Kirke and Andy Fraser all on top form!
