ALICE COOPER - SCHOOLS OUT
IN SUPERB BARELY PLAYED CONDITION
WITH ULTRA RARE PAPER PANTIES
- CATALOGUE:WARNER BROTHERS K56007
- MATRIX: K56007 A1 / B1
THE ALBUM THAT CREATED THE LEGEND THAT IS ALICE COOPER. RELEASED IN 1972 THE ALBUM CONTAINS THE MEGA HIT OF THE SAME NAME. WHAT IS VERY SPECIAL ABOUT THIS VINYL SET IS THAT FOR A VERY LIMITED PERIOD, THE VERY FIRST PRESSES CAME WITH A SET OF PAPER PANTIES WRAPPED AROUND THE RECORD. MOST WERE LOST OR DISCARDED, BUT HERE IS A COMPLETE SET,
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE OLIVE GREEN LABELS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION. THEY ARE RICH AND VIBRANT IN COLOUR AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. FINALLY THERE ARE JUST THREE SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS 39 YEAR OLD ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. A BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM . IT IS CLEAR JUST BY LOOKING AT IT, THAT IT HAS BARELY SEEN A TURNTABLE IN ITS 39 YEARS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION, THERE ARE JUST A FEW WIPSY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN
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 RECORDED THE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I AM NOW DOING 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
THIS SUPERB VINYL PLAYS FAULTLESSLY. THER STEREO REPRODUCTION IS MAGNIFICENT, AND THE SOUND IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAR AND NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES OR CLICKS EITHER
THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT VINYL NOISE RIGHT AT THE START OF EACH SIDE, VERY LIGHT AND BARELY AUDIBLE, OTHER THAN THIS THE LINKING GROOVES REMAIN NEAR SILENT.PERHAPS THE ODD LITTLE DUST POP ONCE OR TWICE THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAY
PLEASE DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, HAVE A LISTEN YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR STANDARDS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS
THE SLEEVE
ORIGINAL HEAVY CARD SCHOOL DESK SLEEVE THIS SLEEVE HAS A HISTORY OF BEING HARD TO FIND IN A COLLECTIBLE CONDITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAS A PRESS OUT SET OF LEGS ON THE REAR SURFACE AND MANY OWNERS DID EXACTLY THAT, WHICH LOOKED GREAT BUT WHEN THEY WERE FLATTENED BACK THEY WOULD NEVER FIT EXACTLY SO SLIDING THE SLEEVE BACK INTO THE COLLECTION OFTEN RESULTED IN THE LEGS CATCHING THE OTHER LP.S AND TEARING.
THE FRONT SURFACE OF THIS SLEEVE IS IN NICE CONDITION. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES AND THE DESKTOP SURFACE IS STILL SHINY. THERE ARE JUST TWO REALLY SMALL LINES NEAR THE SPINE.
ALL OF THE COLOUR IS PERFECT, NO RUBBING, NO RING WEAR AND NOT EVEN ANY RECORD SHAPE
THE ROUNDED CORNERS ARE STILL IN SUPERB CONDITION
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE SHOWING LIGHT SHELF WEAR
THE SPINE IS TOTTALY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS STILL THERE . ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE REAR SURFACE HAS HAD THE LEGS POPPED OUT BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN OPENED UP AS THE HINGED JOINTS ARE STILL FIRM AND WILL NOT ALLOOW THE LEGS TO OPEN UP ANLESS I FORCE IT, SO THEY REMAIN IN PRISTINE CONDITION. THE REAL TELLTALE SIGN THATTHEYHAVE NOT BEEN OPENED ARE THE TWO LUGS THAT SLOT INTO THE LEGS TO KEEP THEM STURDY. THEY HAVE NO CREASE LINES ON THEM AT ALL WHICH WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THEY HAD BEEN INSERTED INTO THE LEGS
OPENING THE DESK REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER DESK LID AND BASE. NO RUBBING OR TEARS
THE PAPER PANTIES ARE IN (EXCUSE THE PUN) UNSOILED CONDITION.JUST ONE TINYAGE STAIN THE ELASTIC IS STILL VERY TAUGHT
THE ORIGINAL SEMI CIRCULAR PLASTIC BG INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION
THE SLEEVE GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
