WINGS - BAND ON THE RUN
IN MAGNIFICENT ONE PLAY MINT MINUS CONDITION
NEAR MINT SLEEVE
THIS HAS THE RARE SEMI LAMINATED SLEEVE WITH TAPERED ENDS
- CATALOGUE:APPLE PAS 1007
- MATRIX: YEX 929-2 / 930-2 (ONLY -1 IS EARLIER)
- MOTHERS/STAMPERS: 1 ADO / 2 ART
THE SLEEVE ON MOST COPIES IS AN UNLAMINATED SINGLE ISSUE WITH A DUSTY POWDERY FINISH. THERE IS A VERY VERY RARE FULLY LAMINATED UK 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE WHICH I HAVE ONLY EVER HAD ONE COPY OF, AND THEN THERE IS THIS A SEMI LAMINATED SLEEVE. IN ALL CASES THESE FIRST ISSUES MUST HAVE TAPERED ENDS TO THE SPINE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND STILL HAS SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE FROM THE FACTORY PRESSING MACHINE. I CAN SEE JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPIDER LINE REALLY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE.
THE VINYL
A BEAUTIFUL VINYL, THAT GLEAMS LIKE NEW. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED.
THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND EVEN WHEN I OFFERED IT UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION, I COULD ONLY SPOT A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES. THERE IS ALSO A TINY DULL BAND AROUND THE OUTER EDGE OF SIDE TWO. TOTALLY NON SOUNDING
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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING IA BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO THE RECORDINGS AND I SURE YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN ABSOLUTELY CRACKING COPY.
NO BACKGROUND NOISES, NO CRACKLES, POPS OR STATIC WHATSOEVER. JUST A MAGNIFICENT FIRST PRESS QUALITY WITH A PRODUCTION THAT IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAR.
THERE IS SOME ABSOLUTE MINUSCULE AND BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE NOISE ON A COUPLE OF RANDOM OCCASIONS, I ALSO HEARD ABOUT TWO TINY STATIC TICS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
VERY RARE SEMI LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE WITH THE TAPERED ENDS TO THE SPINE .
THIS IS A SLEEVE THAT DESPITE BEST INTENTIONS SUFFERS BADLY FROM COLOUR LOSS, RING WEAR AND SEVERE CREASING DUE TO THE THIN CARD THAT WAS USED TO MAKE IT,AND ON THE COMMON UNLAMINATED SLEEVE,THE DUSTY POWDERY FINISH APPLIED TO THE SURFACE, THUS FINDING A GREAT SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO DO.
INCIDENTALLY THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO TELL IF YOU OWN A FIRST PRESS SLEEVE. SIMPLY THE SPINE WILL HAVE TAPERED EDGES, .
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND IT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR 90% OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS THEREFORE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME VERY VERY WELL.
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT NONE OF THE BROWN SURFACE HAS BEEN RUBBED AWAY AND SECONDLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER. THERE ARE ALSO NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. JUST A TINY LITTLE SCUFF ON THE BROWN SURFACE JUST ABOVE MICHAEL PARKINSON'S HAND
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO LINES NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND JUST ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, PLUS THE FOUR CORNER TIPS HAVE MINUSCULE WEAR
BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE UNUSUALLY PERFECTLY COLOURED WITH ALL OF THE SURFACE COVERED BY THE DEEP BROWN COLOUR AND ONLY A COUPLE OF PIN PRICKS OF WHITE VISIBLE ON A COUPLE OF CORNER TIP ENDS
THE SPINE HAS A TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS . IT IS FLAT WITH A COUPLE OF TINY DIMPLES ON THE SURFACE. THE TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS JUST WHY THIS LP HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE OR TWICE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT
THE INNER SLEEVE IS TOTALLY UNSPLIT, AND UNCREASED. VERY RARE FOR THIS INNER. THE LARGE THUMB NOTCH ALONG THE TOP IS ALSO PERFECT
THE LP HAS NOW BEEN PLACED INSIDE A NEW POLY LINED INNER TO ENSURE THAT NO HARM CAN COME TO THE INNER.
THE LARGE POSTER IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION, HAVING SHARP CREASE SEAMS AND NO MARKS BACK OR FRONT
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
