RUSSELL MORRIS - Bloodstone
His Masters Voice Records
Cat# OCSD 7679
1971
Australian release
Cover is in good condition with no seam splits, no tears and only very light edge wear from normal handling. However, there has been initials printed on the front cover (in Green) which are clearly visible. Additional to these initials on the front cover, I see the same initials printed onto the Side B record label, not quite so noticeable as the colour is similar to the record label! There is also a strip of discolouring on the rear cover, centre near the opening edge, due to a previous piece of sticky tape keeping the cover sealed! Overall though, a very nice cover after all these years!
New inner plastic sleeve
The vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see a few light marks or scratches on either side. A visual inspection just doesn't cut it so I then played the ENTIRE release, both sides, and there is a slightly elevated level of surface noise but overall of a low level. There is also the occasional low level click/pop on either side, most are short duration. NO mistracking! Another nice trip down memory lane from the early days of Russell Morris, in fact his debut album!
