GENESIS
"From Genesis to Revelation"
THE ORIGINAL - WITH LYRIC SHEET
!! MATRIX: ZAL-8839.P-1W & ZAL-8840 P-2W !!
It's a tough one to photograph this, being jet black and highly glossed.
The ripples at the base are the reflection of the window sill upon which it is resting.
The sleeve is in good general order (see below) with
NO EDGE WARE WHATSOEVER
due to the plastic protective sleeve it has been held in from new
The Lyric Sheet is in exceptionally good condition with no creases or marks
It also still carries the original blue edged inner sleeve to indicate it's STEREO status
How many will you ever see these days carrying the original unboxed DECCA Blue Label?
... NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS ...
Somewhere down the line, this rarely played album has received a hairline scratch on thelast track of side 2. I have tried to capture it as best I can on the photo below. This creates eight soft and ever reducing clicks over a period of about 12 seconds in all. I tested it on my Kenwood P94 Linear Turntable before listing and this did not cause any skips or jumps.
... AND ...
The laminated front cover has several oval crease marks toward the entry edge
FINALLY I WOULD SAY ...
I am no record collector, just a guy who collected records along the way. So I can tell you nothing
more about this album than it has been well cared for and rarely played - why??
Because I was married young and started a family soon after. My music being precious to me
I would buy an album, usually purchasing a plastic outer sleeve to protect it, then
when I got home, I would tape it in the evening whilst the kids were in bed
and play the tape, fearing my little cherubs would bounce off the record player,
send the needle flying, and spoil both my enjoyment of the music and
the LP it's self in the process. So even sadder that mark above.
Beyond that little bit of history I believe I am best leaving the story to the photo's
I have just taken to show off as best I can, the quality of this item.
BID WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE
