YES - FRAGILE

GREEN /ORANGE UK 2ND PRESS  NEAR MINT CONDITION!!!

MINT MINUS SLEEVE

THIS HAS THE RED/PLUM MATRIX NUMBERS STAMPED INTO THE DEAD WAX MAKING THIS THE VERY 1ST ISSUE ON THE DARK GREEN AND DARK ORANGE LABEL

• CATALOGUE:ATLANTIC K50009 / 2401019 
• MATRIX: 2401019 A//1 / B//1 K50009 A  / B

THE VERY 1ST ISSUE ON THE GREEN AND ORNAGE LABELS HAD THE RED AND PLUM 1ST PRESS MATRIX NUMBERS AS WELL AS THE KINNEY NUMBERS. IN ADDITION AN EARLY ORANGE AND GREEN LABEL HAD FAR DARKER COLOURS THAN THE LATER ISSUES AND THERE WAS NO WARNER LOGO ON THE RIM AT 9 O'CLOCK EITHER. THIS IS QUITE A HARD PRESSING TO FIND

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE GREEN AND ORANGE LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. AND THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE ARE 5-6 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

TOP NOTCH HEAVYWEIGHT GLEAMING  DISC THAT HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S LUSTRE. IT IS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT AND EVEN WHEN EXAMINED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE IS JUST A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES VISIBLE

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 AM NOW DOING 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.

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY BLEMISHES ON BOTH SIDES, AND THE FIRST THING TO ELIMINATE IS AN ISSUE WITH DISTORTION. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NONE,

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION OF THIS PRESS IS BOTH CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUDLY MIXED

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION REALLY CANNOT BE FAULTED AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS INTENDED

THERE IS NOT A JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO CLICKS

THERE IS SOME OCCASIONAL LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN SOME OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND MOST SILENT PASSAGES.

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF MINUTE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, PLUS 4 TINY ROTATIONAL TICS IN THE LINKING GROOVE BETWEEN THE LATS TWO TRACKS ON SIDE TWO

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH NEAR MINT

BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED AND DELICATE MACNEIL GATEFOLD SLEEVE . THIS IS SUCH A HARD SLEEVE TO FIND IN THIS SORT OF CONDITION. THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED USUALLY ASSURES  SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE DELICATE BLUE SURFACE.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND TOTALLY CLEAN. THERE IS NOT ONE MARK ON IT ANYWHERE. THE BLUE SURFACE IS TOTALLY UNBLEMISHED, UNRUBBED .. 

THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER ON ANY PART OF THE SLEEVE, NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE FIVE SMALL LINES  BY THE SPINE. ONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT NON OBTRUSIVE SCRATCH LINES JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE

THE TOP EDGE  HAS JUST A COUPLE OF WHITE FLECKS SHOWING THROUGH THE DELICATE BLUE SURFACE , ONE TINY CHIP AND TINY SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP[, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A SIMILAR SURFACE AND LIGHT RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER

THE SPINE ITSELF IS NEAR PRISTINE. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE AND THE ONLY SPECK OF WHITE SHOWS ON THE VERY BOTTOM TIP. THE WHITE TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WHITE PINPRICKS ON THE TOP LEADING EDGE

THE OPENING EDGE IS JUST RAZOR SHARP WITH A MINUSCULE SPECK OF BURRING RIGHT ON THE BOTTOM.

THE REAR SURFACE IS ALSO IN A SUPERB CONDITION, AGAIN NO CREASING OR CREASE LINES, AND  JUST A COUPLE OF SPINE LINES AND THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE MINT CONDITION INTERIOR PAIR OF SURFACES.

THE BOOKLET IS FIRMLY AFFIXED TO THE SPINE , AND IS IN MINT CONDITION

THE INNER SLEEVE HAS A FEW LIGHT CREASE LINES

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
