Claytown Troupe are an English alternative rock band from Bristol, England who came to success in 1989.
The Records
These lay perfectly flat on the turntable and is free of any warping. Visually all four sides look near mint these look barely ever played my opinion! On close scrutiny you may see light sleeve removal marks but nothing that would cause clicks, ticks or pops at all. No nasty feelable or audio sounding scratches or marks at all that I can see. Any marks that could possibly be seen would be light sleeve removal type only,, Importantly no marks that would cause any loud annoying constant clicks or pops.
The Labels
The original Island Labels These are lovely and clean with no marks or tears. I find it hard to see no more than one spider traces on each side around the spindle hole. This has barely ever been played at all in my opinion!
The Audio Quality
I have played both records at very loud volume on a top system and fully recorded the record for you to hear for yourself in the player provided above! This audio is absolutely awesome throughout! Please note! One of the best sounding copies that I have heard of this album, super deep bassey feel and cristal clear and vibrant through out! No loud constant clicks or pops heard at all! You will find it hard to find a better sounding copy! Audio Near Mint through out looks in barely ever played condition! 33 years old like this!
Hear the complete album in the player above! (actual recording from the vinyl)
Please Note, I always add this disclaimer! Please allow for isolated static. This album is 33 years old and would have originally been played on a 33 years old system!
This album has been stored in a case, laying dormant, with the vinyl separated from the sleeve for protection for over 35 years! This is how I have always stored my records! A build up of dirt and dust in the groves from laying dormant causes static crackle/ticks. A constent cleaning before each play is highly recommended. This will enhance the audio quality and reduce any static interference!
The Record Sleeves
These are the original 1st issue black poly lined record sleeves! No splits or tears at all. These are the originals!
The Cover
This is the original 1st issue un-laminated press gatefold cover! Signed by the original band members (Very Very rare like this) No splits or tears no real nasty creases to talk of generally lovely and clean throughout! No real ring wear or nasty rubbing that is so common on these covers, all text can be read on the spine! . The spine is lovely all text clear and legible, minor crushing only! Lovely cover clean and straight graded at least better than excellent plus to near mint in my opinion!
