THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND - Enlightened Rogues
Capricorn Records
Cat# CPN 0218
Santa Maria Pressing (denoted by 25 on each side of the record label)
1979
USA release
Gatefold cover is in good condition, no tears, no seam splits, sound spine and no personal writing on the cover at all. But wait (I hear you say) there is a chunk taken out of the top right of the cover! That is the mark of a deleted product, when (for a variety of reasons but NOT physically defective product) record stock was returned to the distributor and rendered not suitable for retail sale by either taking a chunk out of the cover or cutting diagonally across a corner, some even have holes punched. These deletion indicators are placed so that there is NO damage to the vinyl inside of course. The printed inner paper sleeve is included.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see just a couple of very light scratches or marks on either side. I then played the ENTIRE album, every single track, and there are no issues with surface noise or click/pop events at all - just an occasional low audio level click of very short duration (1~2 revolutions) and nothing more - a very nice clean playback of this classic Allmans release.
TRACKS: Crazy Love, Can't Take It With You, Pegasus, Need Your Love So Bad, Blind Love, Try It One More Time, Just Ain't Easy, Sail Away
