THE YES ALBUM - UK ATLANTIC RED/PLUM 1ST PRESS, SUPERB!
Description
YES
"THE YES ALBUM"
1971 2400 101 ATLANTIC STEREO
ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS ON THE MEGA-RARE 'RED/PLUM' ATLANTIC LABEL
IN ALMOST 'UNPLAYED' CONDITION...2-3 PLAYS AT MOST, LOOKS AND PLAYS FABULOUS FOR A 40 YEAR OLD LP!
WITH ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE AND SUPERB GATEFOLD SLEEVE
PLAYGRADED: not simply glanced at with a superficial visual grading, fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions)
OUTER SLEEVE:
Superb original gatefold unlaminated sleeve by MacNeill Press
Excellent condition throughout with not much wear at all. One of the nicer ones you will find.
TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES
Nothing visible, hint of a few touch ups to bottom edge, but it looks superb so nothing to gripe about.
OPENING EDGES
Minor thumbing and light wear.
SPINE
Perfectly legible, just off square, looks great though.
VINYL:
2 4 0 0 1 0 1 A // 1
2 4 0 0 1 0 1 B // 1
Looks awesome under normal daylight and unmarked! Under direct halogen there are a few very faint hairlines (sleeve removal marks) that cause the lightest of crackle on intros, quiter sections and in between songs - as you'd expect from any vinyl. The main audio is near faultless throughout (just the light crackle on quiter parts of songs such as Perpetual Change), wonderful tone and volume. Not one single pop or click throughout. I seriously doubt you could find a significantly better copy of this very rare UK first press.
LABELS:
Nice and clean with thankfully NO graffiti. Just a couple of faint spindle traces! Barely played!
INNER SLEEVE:
Original poly lined inner sleeve with "Plastic bags can be dangerous" warning.
Condition is near perfect with no seam splits, just a few light creases.
POSTAGE AND PACKING:
I recycle as much existing material as possible and reuse record mailers if they are of good enough quality. Edges and corners are reinforced with packing tape. Stiffeners are used to strengthen and support the record.
Vinyl is removed from the outer gatefold to prevent any 'knifing' to the outer sleeve.
I ship in the UK using Royal Mail 2nd Class as it's a little cheaper for buyers. A certificate of postage is obtained for every item. Signed for delivery is available on request at extra cost. Please ask.
Feedback is left for buyers once they have contacted me and left feedback stating they are happy with their purchase. Should there be any issues, please contact me first.
I ship worldwide. Item will be shipped in board-stiffened mailers for maximum protection.
