THIS CLASSIC 40 YEAR OLD ALBUM IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 FIRST PRESS ON THE BLUE LIBERTY LABEL. CCR WERE PROLIFIC WITH THEIR FIRST THREE ALBUMS RELEASING THEM ALL IN THE SAME YEAR.
ORIGINAL PRESSES IN THIS COLLECTIBLE CONDITION ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY HARD TO FIND
THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE 2 SHDES OD 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 HALF A DOZEN SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 40 YEARS
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY SERIOUS HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE APART FROM A COUPLE OF MINISCULE 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 FOUR SECTIONS FROM THIS ALBUM WHICH INCLUDE THE TWO OPENING TRACKS WITH THE DEAD WAX RUN AND, AND 2 FURTHER TRACKS INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE. WHAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR IS A PERFECTLY CRISP CLEAN STEREO SOUND WITH A SILENT RUN IN AND LINKING GROOVES. A SOUND FREE FROM AND DISTORTION, CRACKLE OR CLICKS.JUST THE ODD TINY DUST POP HERE AND THERE, A PERFECT SOUND IN FACT, SO PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO LISTEN TO ALL OF THE RECORDINGS BEFORE MAKING UP YOUR MIND.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THIS ALBUM DESERVES A MINT MINUS STATUS
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, AT ALL ANYWHERE, MEANING THE LP WHEN IT WAS PLAYED WAS PLAYED ON A GOOD DECK WITH AN UNWORN STYLUS. THE CLARITY OF THE SOUND IS MIAGNIFICENT. CLEAR AS A BELL, EVERY NOTE HEARD EXACTLY HOW IT WAS PRODUCED TO BE HEARD.
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS NO HEAVY CREASES, CREASE LINES OR BENDS. THERE ARE THREE THUMB LINES CLOSE TO THE OPENING EDGE, AND A LITTLE LAMINATE LIFT DOWN THE SPINE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE FREE FROM ANY WEAR, AND THE SPINE IS ALSO FREE FROM AMY LAMINATE SPLITS AND THE TYPEFACE IS P[ERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL VERY VERY SHARP SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE COVER VERY OFTEN. THE REAR SURFACE DOES HAVE ONE FLAW IN THAT A CUNK OFLAMINATE AND PICTURE BY THE OPENING EDGE IS MISSING. THIS DOES OF COURSE DEGARDE THE SLEEVE BUT IS STILL WORTH A VERY GOOD PLUS GRADE
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL AND VERY FLAT AND CLEAN
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
