1969 GENUINE FIRST PRESS OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM FEATURING THE MAGNIFICENT ' BAD MOON RISING '
1969 WAS AN INCREDIBLE YEAR FOR CCR BECAUSE THEY ISSUED NO LESS THAN THREE ALBUMS IN THE SAME YEAR. THIS WAS THE THIRD
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE DARK BLUE LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. NOT A MARK OR BLEMISH ON THEM ANYWHERE. THE COLOURS ARE UNRUBBED, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, LOOKING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE THERE ARE JUST TWO SPIDER LINES
THE VINYL
THE VINYL IS VERY GLOSSY AND IS CLEAR BY LOOKING AT IT THAT IT HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED.IT IS AMAZING THAT SUCH A POPULAR ALBUM SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT BEEN ON A TURNTABLE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. ONLY WHEN OFFERED UP TO INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS NEAR FLAWLESS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DULL SPOTS ON ' BAD MOON RISING' THAT DON'T SOUND. OTHER THAN THIS SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW LIGHT HANDLING LINES
I HAVE RECORDED THE WHOLE LP, FROM START TO FINISH SO THAT POTENTIAL BIDDERS CAN HEAR IT BEFORE LAYING A BID
THE LP PLAYS JUST PROPERLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE, MEANING THAT THE PLAYS IT HAS RECEIVED PRIOR TO THIS TEST PLAY WERE CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED CARTRIDGE AND UNWORN STYLUS
NO LOUD CLICKS OR SKIPS
SOME LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD DURING SOME OF THE QUIETER PASSAGES, AND A FEW RANDOM LITTLE DUST POPS AND TICS HERE AND THERE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL EXCELLENT PLUS
THE SLEEVE
THIS SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO FIND IN A DECENT COLLECTIBLE CONDITION BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT MADE OF THE FLIMSIEST CARD IMAGINABLE, BUT IT IS ALSO UNLAMINATED AND TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE FRAGILE IT IS TEXTURED AS WELL.
SO COLOUR LOSS, TEARS TO THE SURFACE AND RING WEAR ARE THE USUAL PLAGUES TO THIS SLEEVE, BUT HERE WE HAVE ONE IN SUPERB ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE IS BOTH FLAT AND CLEAN. THE TEXTURED SURFACE IS STILL PERFECT, AND EVERY SINGLE COLOUR HAS BEEN RETAINED, THERE IS NO RUBBING AT ALL ANYWHERE, AND AMAZINGLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE EITHER. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES NOR ANY BENDS, JUST FIVE NEAR INVSIBLE TINY LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE BOTTOM EDGE SHOWS SOME VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE TOP EDGE HAS NONE, APART FROM A PIN PRICK ON THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE HAS A FEW LIGHT FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS, BUT HAS PERFECT TYPEFACE ON THE WHITE SURFACE. TAPERED ENDS AND ONLY A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE VERY TIP ENDS
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PRISTINE AS THE FRONT, AGAIN JUST A FEW TINY LINES ON THE EDGES
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP WITH A TINY BIT OF BURRING
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS INTACT, AND UNSPLIT. THERE IS SOME LIGHT BROWNING SPOTS WHERE THE ORIGINAL GLUE HOLDING THE POLY INNER TO THE PAPER OUTER HAS AGED, BUT THAT IS ALL. VERY FLAT AND VIRTUALLY UNCREASED
A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
