PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS- WINGS GREATEST
UNPLAYED BEFOE TODAY - MINT MINUS AUDIO
WITH THE RARE 1ST ISSUE POSTER
SUPERB MINT MINUS 1ST ISSUE SLEEVE
GENUINE VERY 1ST-1/-1 PRESS
THE REASON TO ADD THIS RECORD TO YOUR McCARTNEY COLLECTION IS THAT IT IS THE VERY FIRST ISSUE WITH -1 MATRIX NUMBERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LP. , AND COMPLETE WITH THE HARD TO FIND 1ST ISSUE POSTER. THE SLEEVE HAS THE BLACK TRACK LISTING WHIOCH IS ONLY ON THE FIRST ISSUES, AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT CERTAIN TRACKS APPEARED ON ANY WINGS ALBUM. ANOTHER DAY / LIVE AND LET FIE / JUNIORS FARM / HI HI HI / MULL OF KINTYRE
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE JET BLACK LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSSTHE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING
THE VINYL
SUPERBLY GLOSSY AS NEW DISC WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT IT IS IMMACULATE AND TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STIL LOOKS MINT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR LOUD CLICKS
THIS FIRST PRESS PERFORMS TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD WITH A REPRODUCTION THAT IS BOTH CLEAR, AND CRISP AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE WHATSOEVER, AND ONLY THE BAREST OCCASIONAL SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO TICS OR POPS
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH TAKE A FULL LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE SINGLE SLEEVE IN COMPLETELY SUPERB CONDITION.
THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND THUS THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR BENDS OR RINGWEAR. AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE TOTALLY PRISTINE AND SQUARE.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY ZERO PRESSURE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, AND NONE ALONG THE OTTOM EDGE, AND NOT ONE THUMB LINE AT ALL NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN , AND RUN FULLY FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP. ANOTHER SIGN THAT THIS HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NEW. EVEN CORNER TIPS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED
THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE. FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT.NOT ONE JOT OF RUBBING ANYWHERE,
THE OPENING EDGE ONCE AGAIN IS ' AS NEW' RAZOR SHARP, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS SLEEVE !!
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS IMMACULATE AS THE FRONT
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS A TINY PIN HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE. NO CREASES AND THE THUMB NOTCH IS IMMACULATE
THE POSTER IS ALSO PERFECT AND AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE HAS RAZOR SHARP FOLD LINES, SO MUCH SO THAT IT WON'T OPEN FLAT WITHOUT FORCING IT, MEANING THAT THIS POSTER HAS NEVER BEEN FULLY OPENED
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
