1971 EARLY GENESIS CLASSIC
THE RECORD LABELS
THE FIRST PRESS PINK SCROLL LABELS. HERE WE HAVE A PAIR OF PRISTINE NEAR MINT EXAMPLES. EACH OF THE TWO COLOURS IS VIBRANT AND RICH . THE SURFACE OF THE LABEL IS TOTALLY UNMARKED, NO STAINS OR FINGERMARKS. .THE PINK COLOUR EXTENDS ALL THE WAY INTO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND THERE ARE JUST A FEW SMALL AND NEAR INVISIBLE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE TO INDICATE MINOR PLAY OVER THE PAST 37 YEARS
THE VINYL
ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE GLOSSY BLACK HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL. REMOVING IT FROM THE SLEEVE AND GENTLY AND CAREFULLY EXAMINING THE DISC REVEALS A NEAR SPOTLESS SURFACE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN MAKE OUT A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES, BUT THEY ARE NOT VISIBLE IN NORMAL LIGHT. THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES ETC
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE PROOF OF COURSE IS IN THE PLAYING, AND ALL MY WORDS MEAN NOTHING UNLESS THE RECORD SOUNDS GREAT, AND SO I HAVE RECORDED SOME SECTIONS OF THE LP FOR YOU TO HEAR BEFORE DECIDING IF YOU SHOULD BID
I HAVE TAKEN THE RUN IN'S AND FIRST 90 SECONDS OR SO OF EACH OPENING TRACK FROM BOTH SIDES, AND ONE FURTHER TRACK FROM EACH SIDE INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE. I HOPE THIS WILL DEMONSTRATE THE HIGH QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB ALBUM
WHAT YOU SHOULD HEAR IS A CRYSTAL CLEAR STEREO SOUND WHICH PROVES THAT THE PLAY THE THE VINYL HAS HAD OVER THE PAST 37 YEARS HAS BEEN DONE ON A QUALITY SYSTEM WITH A STYLUS THAT WAS NEITHER WORN NOR TOO HEAVY, AND THEREFORE HAS CAUSED NO GROOVE WEAR WHICH WOULD MANIFEST ITSELF AS A DISTORTED SOUND.
THERE IS SOME VERY VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND IN THE QUIETEST OF MOMENTS, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HEAR A LITTLE IN THE LINKING GROOVES, BUT THIS HAS NO ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE SUPERB SOUND. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW LIGHT POPS HERE AND THERE, BUT AGAIN NOT CLICKS JUST SMALL POPS IN THE ODD PLACE
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS DISC EXCELLENT PLUS
THE SLEEVE
THE OVERALL GRADING OF THE SLEEVE IS NEAR MINT
ORIGINAL TEXTURED FIRST PRESS GATEFOLD SLEEVE BY THE E J DAY CO LTD. VERY HEAVY CARD AND IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE FRONT SURFACE HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL COLOUR AND THIS VERY HARD TO FIND AS THE TEXTURED SLEEVE USUALLY SUFFERS VERY BADLY FROM THIS. THERE ARE NO CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, NOT EVEN NEAR THE SPINE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE VERY LIGHT SHELF WEAR, AND THE SPINE IS NEAR MINT!! FLAT CLEAN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. WITH JUST ONE LIGHT SCUFF TO THE VERY TOP TIP. THE REAR SURFACE IS EVERY BIT AS CLEAN , AND PRISTINE AS THE FRONT . THE INNER GATEFOLD IS PRISTINE HAVING NO COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
SO ONCE AGAIN THIS IS A VERY VERY HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE ALBUM IN THE MOST SUPERB CONDITION IMAGINABLE, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE, AND GOOD LUCK IF YOU DECIDE TO GO FOR IT
