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 2 SHADES OF BLUE ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 MINISCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND EVEN THIS YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT UNDER A LIGHT, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 50 YEARS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN PERFECT CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES AND EVEN THESE ARE BARELY VISIBLE
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
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER MAKING A CLEAN NOISE FREE SILENCE IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND THE NEAR SILENT PASSAGES
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY STATIC IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND NO STATIC TICS OR POPS ANYWHERE
THERE CANNOT BE ABETTER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE
I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY TO GRADE THE AUDIO REPRODUCTION ON THIS OUTSTANDING VINYL AS MINT
A FINAL UPGRADE VINYL
BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. THE SHEEN ON THE LAMINATE IS QUITE SUPERB!
NO HEAVY CREASES OR DEEP CREASE LINES AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS. THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE, AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE.
THERE IS JUST THREE BARELY VISIBLE LITTLE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES BY THE TOP OF THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, AND ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. THERE ARE THREE THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE. THERE IS ALSO A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED.
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. IT HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY AFFIXED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH JUST A LITTLE BURRING
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS FULLY LAMINATED AND ALSO IN TOP UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. THE SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT THAT I MENTIONED ON THE FRONT IS ALSO PRESENT ON THE REAR, BUT IT REALLY CAN ONLY BE SPOTTED IN A STRONG ANGLED LIGHT
THE INNER SLEEVE IS IN STUNNING CONDITION. NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES. STILL VERY WHITE AND HAS THE PRINTED DATE 0370 AT THE BOTTOM
FOR ME THIS SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
