THE RARE REDEVELOPED SLEEVE
When Blind Faith was promoted before release - there was a lot of 'outrage' because of the 'girl' cover. Many companies (and in some cases whole countries) refused to sell the LP with the 'girl' cover. Here in the UK it was expected that many shops would refuse to stock the LP with the 'girl 'cover' - so quickly another cover had to be developed. However many shops in the UK 'rolled over' and stocked the 'girl' cover anyway - which is of course is why the 'girl cover' is so common today.
However a very very few shops decided not to stock it - and so this 'other' cover was developed. However not many of these covers were ever sold at all. The cover that was developed for shops that refused to sell the 'girl' cover is very different from the standard(and common) cover!!!!
It is a single sleeve which is fully laminated. It is very probable that this mega rare cover was only stocked for a very short amount of time during the records chart run - and once the 'hype' and 'shock' about the cover had subsided - the few shops that had refused to stock the cover soon went back to stocking the standard cover
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE RED LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE COLOURS ARE ALL RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE AND UNRUBBED.THERE ARE JUST 4-5 SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN'T LOOK ANY BETTER. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.THE DISC LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISCS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFIED LED HALO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS VINYL SOUNDS
THE VINYL PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION. NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I HEARD JUST 2-3 TINY LITTLE SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND DURING THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
THIS RECORD IS EASY TO GRADE MINT MINUS FOR THE AUDIO
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
