THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

ORANGE AND BLACK DAWN LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE.

 THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT. THE BASE ORANGE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHERE THERE ARE NO MORE THAN TWO  REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING EXACTLY HOW MANY PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED. 

IT JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT IT IS 50 YEARS OLD

THE VINYL

A STUNNING  HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN AND ONE SMALL NON HANDLING LINE PLUS A COUPLE DULL STREAKS

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 NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED 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

DAWN WAS THE PROGRESSIVE SUBSIDIARY OF PYE RECORDS, AND WAS USED TO PROMOTE ALL OF THOSE WEIRD AND OBSCURE PROGRESSIVE BANDS OF THE VERY EARLY SEVENTIES.

THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

THE VOCAL CLARITY IS JUST SUPERB. CLEAR AND CRISP, AND PERFORMED THROUGH A SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION

THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR WORK IS ALSO REPRODUCED MAGNIFICENTLY.

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

NO VINYL NOISES AND JUST THE OCCASIONAL SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC IN A COUPLE OF RANDOM PLACES

ABOUT 3-4  BARELY AUDIBLE LITTLE DUST POPS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, BUT THAT IS ALL

I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS MAGNIFICENT SPECIMEN MINT MINUS!!!! IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD

ANYWAY PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

GENUINE 1ST PRESS LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE

HERE  IS AN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE.

STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THE FIRST AND MOST OBVIOUS THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES. NO FOLDS OR BENDS AND A LAMINATED SURFACE THAT ABSOLUTELY SPARKLES 

THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. 

THERE ARE FIVE LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP AND FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE. THERE ARE FOUR TINY PRESSURE LINES BY THE SEALED EDGE

NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE AND THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED WITH ALL OF THE LAMINATE FULLY INTACT AND RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH THE ONLY SPECK OF RUBBING OCCURRING ON THE TOP RIGHT TIP ENDS

THE SPINE HERE IS  UNSQUASHED AND UNWORN EXAMPLE WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE TWO SMALL SPECKS OF LAMINATE CRACK FROM THE FRONT PRESSURE LINES. THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS ARE PRISTINE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP , AND DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THOSE TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS 

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS BRILLIANT AS THE FRONT SURFACE , AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOURS UNRUBBED, AND NO CREASE LINES OF ANY DESCRIPTION, AND  JUST THREE SMALL PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE 

INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, AND NOT EVEN A JOT OF RECORD SHAPE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES.

THE  POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN  UNSPLIT CONDITION, ONE SMALL CREASE LINE ACROSS ONE CORNER, AND THE SOME LIGHT WRINKLES BUT STILL VERY WHITE. THERE IS A SMALL NICK ON ONE SIDE OF THE DIE CUT HOLE

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

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