   For sale is Creedence Clearwater Revival's Creedence Gold, originally released in 1972 by Fantasy Records with a unique die-cut cover. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks are the matrix numbers A-1/A-2, indicating that an early stamper was used to make this first pressing This is a hallmark of superior sound quality from the engineering for this record, sought after by collectors and music lovers. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI machine and immediately put it away into a protective inner sleeve. This preserves the integrity of any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may have come with the record. The inner sleeve is Near Mint. The cover is graded as Excellent because of sticker residue on the upper right hand corner and some corner rubs. The spine is Near Mint. The original brown label has a sticker on one side, but no spindle marks.The vinyl is Excellent with faint surface scratches that do not affect playback. It's been played only on Audiophile equipment since I've owned it and still has a lot of life yet. This is the best copy of this album that I have ever seen or heard and you would be hard pressed to find one in this condition. This would make a great addition to anyone's collection.  I have a lot more Rock records as well as albums of all different genres listed in my Ebay store. Please take a look as they are almost  all Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing.    I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
