ATTENTION CLASSIC ALBUM COLLECTORS AS WELL AS CONDITION UPGRADERS! HERE'S AN ESSENTIAL 1970 ALBUM THAT SHOULD BE IN EVERY SERIOUS RECORD COLLECTION! 

SIMON AND GARFUNKEL: 

"BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER".

AT ANYTIME THERE ARE DOZENS OF COPIES ON EBAY TO CHOOSE FROM IN VARYING CONDITIONS BUT YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO SEE AND HEAR A BETTER VINYL COPY THAN THIS EXAMPLE WHICH HAS ONLY HAD 2-3 PLAYS AT THE VERY MOST-A SPARE "SAFETY" COPY BOUGHT BY A DEDICATED RECORD COLLECTOR AND SERIOUS HI-FI FANATIC WHO DECIDED TO BUY TWO COPIES OF MOST OF HIS FAVOURITES AS PART INVESTMENT AND ALSO JUST IN CASE OF WEAR AND DAMAGE TO HIS"MOST PLAYED"COPY!  THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UK 1970 PRESSING WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF ISSUE WITH VERY THICK VINYL! LATER ONES MUCH THINNER VINYL AS WELL AS HAVING DIFFERENT LABEL DESIGNS AND DIFFERENT INNER SLEEVES. NOT ONLY THAT,THE COVER  HAS THE LAMINATION AT THE FRONT-THE MAJORITY MADE ARE MATT FINISH ONLY!.THE LABELS HAVE NO SPINDLE WEAR,STAINING OR WRITING!

CBS S 63699 WITH A3/B5 MATRIXES.

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER IS JUST ABOUT PERFECT WITH A MUCH MORE BOLDER/SHARPER PRINT AT THE SPINE UNLIKE LATER REPRINTS AND A TRULY STUNNING GLEAM AND SHEEN THAT YOU RARELY SEE ON BIG SELLING ALBUMS OF THIS VINTAGE! THERE IS NO WRITING,STAINING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

JUST TWO ULTRA TINY EDGE CREASES.

 THE RECORD HAS GLEAMING SURFACES-NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER EVEN IN VERY STRONG LIGHT-TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT!.

I STRUGGLED TO HEAR ANY SURFACE NOISE EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS AND ON THE RUN INS! JUST THE VERY FAINTEST OF A COUPLE OF ISOLATED "POPS" AT VERY HIGH VOLUME NEAR THE START OF THE FIRST TRACK ON EACH SIDE AND THAT IS BEING 100% HONEST AND MEGA-STRICT! SO CLOSE TO MINT! REMEMBER THERE ARE MANY QUIET PASSAGES ON THIS LP AND EVEN THE MOST CAREFUL OF OWNERS WOULD HAVE PLAYED THIS LP AT THE VERY LEAST A FEW DOZEN TIMES CAUSING SIGNS OF WEAR-THIS IS EASILY A FINAL UPGRADER! YOU CAN HEAR THE FADING AWAY WITH NO HORRIBLE SURFACE FIZZ,CRACKLE AND POP-FOR EXAMPLE THE TITLE TRACK'S FINAL NOTE FADE OUT THAT I HAVE NEVER,EVER HEARD WITH SUCH CLARITY! CRISPNESS AND YET WARMTH THROUGHOUT! INCREDIBLE BASS AND RANGE OF SOUND NOTABLE ON MY FAVOURITE TRACK "THE ONLY LIVING BOY IN NEW YORK"WITH THE BACKING VOCAL HARMONIES NEVER SOUNDING BETTER! WOW!  STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION. MINT SIMPLY DOES NOT EXIST UNLESS THE ITEM IS TOTALLY SEALED UP AND I AM NOT LIKE ONE OF THOSE DEALERS WHO PUT MINT!!!! IN THE HEADING AND THEN LOWER DOWN IN THE TINY PRINT PUT SOMETHING LIKE"IT MUST GRADE AS NEAR EXCELLENT"! BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE! DON'T OVERLOOK THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT CBS LPs INNER SLEEVE THAT WAS REPLACED WITHIN WEEKS OF THIS LP BEING RELEASED-LATER ONES HAVING ONE SIDE DEVOTED TO SIMON AND GARFUNKEL LPs! THIS ORIGINAL ONE WITH THE SHAPED EDGES IS BEAUTIFULLY CLEAN WITH A WHITENESS AND BRIGHTNESS AND CRISPNESS SO RARELY SEEN ON INNER SLEEVES OF 44 YEARS OLD! NO SPLITS(MOST DO!)NO WRITING(MOST HAVE THE DEALERS REF.NUMBERS IN ONE CORNER!),NO RIPS,NO STAINING! NATURALLY AN ADDITIONAL POLYLINED INNER HAS BEEN ADDED FOR PROTECTION. 

AMERICAN COLLECTORS WILL KNOW ALL TOO WELL HOW BAD USA PRESSINGS WERE IN 1970 WITH WAFER THIN HISSY VINYL AND "PULPED" CARD USED FOR THE COVERS-BRITISH PRESSINGS IN 1970 WERE JUST ABOUT THE BEST IN THE WORLD ESPECIALLY UK CBS AND THE COVERS WERE OF MUCH HIGHER QUALITY PRINTING AND MANUFACTURE SO DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO GET A SIMPLY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF A WORLD CLASS ALBUM THAT RARELY TURNS UP FOR SALE IN THIS CONDITION-I AM ALREADY REGRETTING LETTING IT GO ON EBAY FOR AUCTION-IT'S THAT GOOD! YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS ALBUM ALL OVER AGAIN WITH THIS QUALITY! WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST COPY TO HAVE BEEN ON EBAY IN MANY MONTHS POSSIBLY YEARS! 

MY LOW AND REALISTIC STARTING PRICE OF £12 WOULD BE SNAPPED UP AT MOST RECORD COLLECTORS SHOPS OR AT RECORD FAIRS!

POSTAGE COSTS AS FOLLOWS:

UK £4-50 INCLUDING 1ST CLASS SIGNED FOR. EUROPE £6-50 REST OF THE WORLD £9-50.

HIGH BIDS WILL MERIT SPECIAL DELIVERY OR INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR BEING ADVISED.

The vast majority of copies sold of this album were often played on poor equipment,in many cases taken to parties or played in smokey clubs,not well cared for with no long term investment in mind!    

An ideal opportunity to add a superb album to your collection that is bound to rise in value,especially in this AMAZING AND STUNNING TOP CONDITION EVEN BY MY VERY HIGH STANDARDS-SEE MY FEEDBACK!
