THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORANGE AND BLACK DAWN LABELS IN RICH AND VIBRANT CONDITION. . THE BASE ORANGE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS PENNED HIS NAME ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LABEL
THERE ARE 12-15 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ALMOST FLAWLESS. SIDE ONE HAS A FEW HANDLING LINES AND SURFACE SCUFFS, PLUS THE USUAL WISPY HAIRLINES, SIDE TWO FAR LESS
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 ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH, AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
DAWN WAS THE PROGRESSIVE SUBSIDIARY OF PYE RECORDS, AND WAS USED TO PROMOTE ALL OF THOSE WEIRD AND OBSCURE PROGRESSIVE BANDS OF THE VERY EARLY SEVENTIES.
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER MEANING THAT THE PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THE VOCAL CLARITY IS JUST SUPERB. CLEAR AND CRISP, AND PERFORMED THROUGH A SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR WORK IS ALSO REPRODUCED MAGNIFICENTLY.
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND ON OCCASION
THERE ARE SOME RANDOM TICS AND POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, JUST SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES
I AM NOT GOING TO GRADE THIS VINYL SO JUST PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IF IT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR COLLECTION
I WOULDN'T NORMALLY LIST ANYTHING THAT HAS THIS MANY TICS AND POPS, BUT THIS IS A REALLY RARE ALBUM, THAT DESPITE THESE IRRITANTS ACTUALLY SOUNDS REALLY CLEAN AND BRIGHT
THE SLEEVE
GENUINE 1ST ISSUE TEXTURED, UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN A WHITE CONDITION. IT SOILED AS SOON AS YOU LOOKED AT IT.
HERE THOUGH IS A REALLY CLEAN AND COLLECTIBLE EXAMPLE
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THE FIRST AND MOST OBVIOUS THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES AND CREASE LINES.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND AND STILL REMARKABLY WHITE WHEN COMPARED TO OTHERS ON OFFER. THERE IS SOME LIGHT HANDLING TO THE TEXTURED SURFACE PARTICULARLY AROUND THE PERIMETER EDGES, BUT THE FOUR INSERT PICTURES ARE ALL PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.
THERE ARE JUST THREE TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE, THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE ' RECORDED LIVE IN A FIELD ' STICKER IS FIRMLY ADHERED TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST LIGHTLY SHELF WORN
THE SPINE IS 1005 FLAT AND UNSQUASHED. THE WHITE SURFACE IS LIGHTLY SOILED, AND THE BOTTOM TIP END HAS A LITTLE RUBBING, BUT THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS WHERE THE DISC HAS BEEN REMOVED A COUPLE OF TIMES
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT SURFACE , AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOURS UNRUBBED, AND NO CREASE LINES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND ONCE MORE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY LINES NEAR THE SPINE
INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND NOT EVEN A JOT OF RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A NEAR PRISTINE INNER SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES.JUST SOME LIGHT MOTTLING EITHER SIDE OF THE SPINE
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN MINT UNSPLIT CONDITION, ONE SMALL CREASE LINE ACROSS ONE CORNER, AND THE CATALOGUE NUMBER HAS BEEN NEATLY WRITTEN IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER
THE LYRIC INSERT SHEET IS IN MINT CONDITION!!!
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS UNSPLIT, HAS ONE LARGE CORNER CREASE AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER PENNED THEIR NAME ON ONE SIDE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
