CREAM - DISRAELI GEARS

SUPERB 1ST MONO PRESS IN MINT CONDITION!!!

MAGNIFICENT 1ST PRESS E.J DAY FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE

MUSEUM GRADE SET

FOR THOSE THAT ARE SERIOUS CREAM COLLECTORS, I HAVE HERE WHAT CAN ONLY DESCRIBED AS A TRUE VAULT COPY. 

I HAVE HERE A FIRST PRESS THAT  DOES NOT CRACKLE  AT ANY POINT DURING THE PLAY-THROUGH.

THE FIRST PRESS OF THIS ALBUM HAS THE FULLY LAMINATED E.J DAY SLEEVE. THIS WAS ONLY EVER RELEASED ON THE VERY FIRST BATCH OF FISST ISSUES, AND WAS QUICKLY REPLACED WITH THE SLEEVE WITH THE UNLAMINATED REAR SURFACE. BOTH HOUSE THE FIRST PRESS VINYL BUT ONLY THE FULLY LAMINATED COVER CAN BE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED AS A VERY FIRST ISSUE

THE LP 1ST PRESS IDENTIFIERS ARE THE A1/B1 MATRIX NUMBERS AND THE MATT TEXTURED LABELS

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THIS WILL NEVER NEED TO BE UPGRADED 

FORTUNATELY WITH ALL MY AUCTIONS YOU GET THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM BEFORE DECIDING IF IT'S FOR YOU, SO SIT BACK AND TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO AN INCREDIBLE ALBUM

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE DEEP BLUE MATT LABELS ARE PRISTINE. TOTALLY BLEMISH FREE AND UN-RUBBED. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALSO MINT .  I HAVE CLOSELY EXAMINED THE SPINDLE HOLE AND CAN SEE NO MORE THAN TWO OR THREE TINY SPIDER LINES SHOWING JUST HOW CAREFULLY THIS VOLUME WAS HANDLED

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. AND EVEN WHEN PRESENTED TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS STILL NOTHING MORE TO SEE THAT A FEW OF THE TINIEST WISPY HAIRLINES, PLUS A COUPLE OF SUPERFICIAL NON SOUNDING ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINES

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 DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS IN THE FIRM BELIEF 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 OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

IT IS CLEAR FROM THE SECOND THE STYLI HITS THE VINYL THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL

THE MONO REPRODUCTION IS JUST AWESOME, AND BOTH LOUD AND CRYSTAL CLEAR AND TRULY REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW A FIRST PRESS SHOULD SOUND

THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS OR BACKGROUND CRACKLE ANYWHERE

I SIT NO FURTHER THAN 12 INCHES FROM MY SPEAKERS AS I LISTEN TO THE ALBUMS I RECORD AND THEREFORE I WILL DETECT MUCH MORE THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED AT NORMAL LISTENING DISTANCE, AND THIS ALBUM PERFORMS BETTER THAN ANY COPY I HAVE EVER PLACED ON MY DECK.

THERE ARE A FEW SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES AND NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY THROUGH.

PLEASE TAKE A FULL LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE VOLUME AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO A FULL MINT GRADE !!!!

SO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST COPY OF DISRARELI GEARS THAT MONEY CAN BUY, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER

THE SLEEVE

AN E.J DAY FULLY LAMINATED 1ST PRESS SLEEVE IS THE MOST AMAZING ORIGINAL CONDITION.

I WANT TO START WITH LAMINATE. MOST COPIES OF THIS ALBUM HAVE SOME SORT OF DEFECT WITH THE COATING. BE IT LAMINATE PEEL, FLAKE OR LIFT, BUT THIS COPY HAS NO SUCH ISSUES AT ALL. ALSO DUE TO THE FLIMSY NATURE OF THE SLEEVE, THE SLIGHTEST BEND WOULD CAUSE LAMINATE LINES TO APPEAR AT THE SPINE.

THIS INCREDIBLE COPY HAS A GLOSS THAT IS JUST AS HIGHLY POLISHED AS CAN BE, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE PERFECT LAMINATE WHATSOEVER

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, AND JUST ONE MICROSCOPIC ONE ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGE. EQUALLY AMAZING IS THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO THUMB LINES EITHER BY THE OPENING EDGE OR ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE SURFACE EITHER

THERE CANNOT BE A FLATTER BETTER EXAMPLE ANYWHERE

THE SPINE IS ANOTHER AREA ON THE SLEEVE WHICH USUALLY HAS ALL OF THE TYPEFACE RUBBED BADLY, BUT AGAIN THIS COPY IS PERFECT WITH ALL OF THE INFORMATION FULLY SHARP AND LEGIBLE

THE EXPOSED EDGE ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP AND HAS NOT SUFFERED BURRING LIKE YOU WILL USUALLY SEE ON MOST EXAMPLES

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ALSO HAVE PERFECT UNDAMAGED ALMINATE RUNNING ALL THE WAY FROM CORNER TO CORNER

LASTLY I WISH TO POINT OUT THAT THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS SPECTACULAR AS THE FRONT

WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A TRULY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST ISSUE DISRAELI GLEARS SLEEVE TO FIND IN PERFECT CONDITION

I GRADE THIS SLEEVE VERY CLOSE TO MINT

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