 TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL AMAZINGLY RECORDED AND RELEASED 6 ALBUMS WITHIN A 2 YEAR SPAN FROM 1968-1970. IN FACT HERE IN THE UK THERE WERE 4 RELEASES IN 1969 WITH THE DEBUT ALBUM (RECORDED IN 1968) NOT ACTUALLY RELEASED IN THE UK UNTIL 1969, WHICH IS WHY IT IS 69 STAMPED ON THE LABEL

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BLACK LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE ZERO SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUPERB CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY SOME TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE. NOTHING THAT MARS THE SOUND WHATSOEVER

PLAYING THE RECORD

I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. I HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE LP FROM START TO FINISH SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO JUDGE THE CONDITION OF THE SOUND FOR YOURSELF. I BELIEVE IT IS FAR BETTER TO ALLOW A POTENTIAL BIDDER TO HEAR THE THE RECORD BEFORE THEY LAY A BID, RATHER THAN JUST USE DESCRIPTIVE WORDS. EVERYONES IDEA OF CONDITION DIFFERS BUT NOTHING CAN BE MISTAKEN IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR THE ACTUAL RECORD. SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS.

THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, WHICH MEANS THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY IT HAS PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED WAS CONDUCTED ON A GOOD SYSTEM THAT DIDN'T HAVE A WORN OR HEAVY STYLUS

ALSO YOU WILL NOT HEAR ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE OF LOUD CLICK OR POPS

ANOTHER PLUS IS THAT THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER MAKING A CLEAN NOISE FREE SILENCE IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE SEMI SECONDS OF STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES, AND IN ADDITION NO MORE THAN ONE DUST POP DURING THE ENTIRE RECORDING

I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION ON THIS OUTSTANDING VINYL AS MINT MINUS

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RICH AND VIBRANT COLOURS WHICH HAVE REMAINED TOTALLY UNRUBBED. THERE IS NO RING WEAR AND NO RECORD SHAPE EITHER.

THERE ARE SIX SMALL PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TIP HAS A MINUSCULE DING

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AWITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE CORNER TIP ENDS

THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THERE ARE NO FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS ANYWHERE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHAR.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, JUST ONE PRESSURE LINE BY THE SPINE AND ANOTHER ON THE TOP EDGE

THE  INNER SLEEVE IS IN STUNNING CONDITION. NO SEAM SPLITS AND ONLY ONE CORNER CREASE LINE. THE DIE CUT HOLE IS PERFECT

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
