THE ADVERTS
CROSSING THE RED SEA LP
BRIGHT (BRL 201) 
1977 1st PRESSING
MATRIX Nos. A-1 / B-1
SLEEVE CONDITION: EX
EDGES TOP & BOTTOM: NO SPLITS OR RIPS. A LITTLE LIGHT RUBBING ON BOTTOM EDGE, MORE SO TOWARDS THE OPENING EDGE. 
SPINE: JUST A COUPLE OF TINY CREASES. NO COMPRESSION. VERY LIGHT WEAR AT ENDS. PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
FRONT: JUST A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE CREASES AND ONE ULTRA FAINT CREASE NEAR BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER (SO FAINT YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT). NO OTHER CREASES ANYWHERE AND NO RINGWEAR. NO SPLITS, RIPS, WRITING OR TEARS. IN VERY NICE CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE. 
REAR: VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE CREASES AND JUST THE TINIEST HINT OF RINGWEAR. NO SPLITS, RIPS, WRITING OR TEARS. OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY FEATHERING. VERY NICE CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE.

RECORD CONDITION:
VISUALLY THE RECORD IS A STRONG EX DISPLAYING JUST THE ODD FAINT SURFACE LINE/FAINT MARK. NO OBVIOUS SCRATCHES, RUB MARKS OR SURFACE MARKS TO BE SEEN. EVEN IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT THERE ARE BARELY ANY SLEEVE REMOVAL TYPE HAIRLINES. IT'S FAIRLY OBVIOUS THAT THIS RECORD HASN'T BEEN PLAYED A GREAT DEAL. THIS IS AN ORINGNAL UK PRESSING ON THE BRIGHT LABEL FROM 1977.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT WITH NO OBVIOUS SPINDLE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE. NO STICKERS, WRITING OR OTHER UNWANTED MARKS. ORIGINAL 1st PRESS RED BRIGHT LABEL WITH WHITE TEXT.
PLAYBACK IS A SUPERB EXCELLENT WITH PRETTY MUCH NOTHING TO SPOIL THE SOUNDTRACK. THE ONLY THING I HEARD THROUGHOUT BOTH SIDES IS A TINY TICK AT THE START OF TRACK4, SIDE 2 FOR ABOUT HALF A DOZEN REVS CAUSED BY A TINY NEAR INVISIBLE MARK. OTHER THAN THAT PLAYBACK IS PERFECT. BACKGROUND NOISE IS VIRTUALLY NON EXISTANT AND THERE IS NO SURFACE NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS, MAYBE JUST THE VERY OCCASIONAL TINY STATIC TYPE TICK. ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS AT ALL. PLAYS THROUGH BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR DISTORTION FREE SOUND. 
DIFFICULT TO FIND DECENT COPIES OF EARLY NEW WAVE/PUNK LPs SO THIS ONE IS A REAL GEM.
