1969 UK 1ST PRESS

INCREDIBLE  MINT AUDIO ALL THE WAY THROUGH
this album was unplayed until today

OUTSTANDING MINT SLEEVE

FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE

 FROM A BATCH OF EX SHOP STOCK ALBUMS

THE LABELS

THE RED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE WHITE BA ND IN THE MIDDLE IS STILL PURE WHITE ALL THE WAY ACROSS.

THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND LOGOS ARE ALL UN-RUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE NO SPIDER LINES AGAINST THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE VINYL

THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE HANDLING MARKS OR LINES, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS FLAWLESS . WHEN OFFERED UP TOA MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THE RECORD IS STILL MINT ON SIDE A. ON SIDE B THERE IS A TOTALLY NON SOUNDING HERRINGBONE EFFECT

THE TEST PLAY

THIS VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY. FROM THE SECOND THE STYLUS IS LOWERED ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE THE CLARITY OF REPRODUCTION COMES THROUGH CRISPLY AND CLEARLY. THIS IS A FIRST PRESS STEREO SOUND IN EVERY WAY.

THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE, OR LOUD CLICKS OR SMALL ONES FOR THAT MATTER

CERTAINLY NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD AS WAS INTENDED

I CAN'T EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY  STATIC AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
NO TICS OR POPS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL  MINT 

DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING MACNEILL LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS. THE LAMINATE IS AS GLOSSY AS I HAVE SEEN ON ANY ALBUM

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS, AND  THERE IS JUST ONE SINGLE  PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE SPINE. NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. AND ZERO THUMB LINES ON THE RIGHT EDGE

THE FOUR CORNERS ARE STILL SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE BOTH FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO TIP WITHOUT ANY ROUGHNESS. TALL OF THE CORNER TIPS ARE PERFECT

THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED. PERFECT LAMINATE. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE SURFACE IS SMOOTH AND UNDAMAGED. NO RUB TO THE TOP OR BOTTOM TIPS

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND ADDS FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RECORD HAS REMAINED INSIDE THE SLEEVE UN-PLAYED FOR MANY YEARS

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION.EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THE FRONT

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO MINT PERFECTLY WHITE INNER PANELS

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN SPLIT FREE, ONE CORNER FOLD LINE, AND NO EDGE AGEING. THE CORRECT 090 DATE IS PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER

I AM REALLY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT

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