CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL AMAZINGLY RECORDED AND RELEASED 6 ALBUMS WITHIN A 2 YEAR SPAN FROM 1968-1970. IN FACT HERE IN THE UK THERE WERE 4 RELEASES IN 1969 WITH THE DEBUT ALBUM (RECORDED IN 1968) NOT ACTUALLY RELEASED IN THE UK UNTIL 1969, WHICH IS WHY IT IS 69 STAMPED ON THE LABEL.

THIS IS THE SECOND ALBUM

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE 2 SHADES OF BLUE ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 2-3 MINUSCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND EVEN THIS YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT UNDER A LIGHT, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 50 YEARS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.

 THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN PRISTINE CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE.IN DAYLIGHT IT IS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES.

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 DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I FIRMLY BELIEVE 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 SUPERB 1ST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS LOUD AND MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER.

THE CLARITY OF THE REPRODUCTIONS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAN, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

NO STATIC AND SILENT LINKING GROOVES

NO DUST POPS OR STATIC TICS

THE AUDIO PERFORMANCE EASILY GRADES MINT IN MY OPINION

BUT PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF

THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL SINGLE SLEEVE.

THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY FOLDS OR BENDS, AND NO DINGS TO ANY OF THE CORNERS.

THERE IS A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE, AND A TINY THUMB LINE CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE. ALSO SIX SMALL LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, MOST OF WHICH ARE HIDDEN BY THE LAMINATE LIFT

THERE ARE FOUR ALONG THE TOP EDGE, TWO ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND A SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE WHEN THE SLEEVE IS SLIGHTLY ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED, AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP

THE SPINE IS AMAZINGLY FLAT AND FULLY LAMINATED, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW WHERE THE LP WAS PLUCKED FROM THE SLEEVE ONCE OR TWICE.

THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS FULLY LAMINATED AND THE SAME CONDITION AS THE FRONT

THE INNER SLEEVE IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. SOME LIGHT CORNER CREASING BUT STILL VERY WHITE AND UNSPLIT, JUST A SHADE OF AGEING TO THE EDGES

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX+++

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