It is my pleasure to offer an exceptional example of the third studio album by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL titled "GREEN RIVER”, Catalogue Number LBS 83273. This is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK STEREO 1st PRESSING on the BLUE LIBERTY RECORD LABEL, with a 1st ISSUE MacNEILL PRESS LTD. TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE. Complete with the original white poly-lined inner sleeve. [The sleeve is the earliest possible design which is made out of soft card and has a textured finish. The matrix numbers are the earliest LBS 83273 Av1 and LBS 83273 Bv1 (where v = upside-down triangle)].
The sleeve is in EX condition with only light wear and no creasing of any significance. It’s a lovely example of this notoriously wear-prone sleeve. I have taken plenty of photos which hopefully show the outstanding condition.
The solidly-pressed 140g record is in EX+ condition. The blue Liberty labels are like new with only a few faint spindle traces each side. I can confirm that the record has only received a few careful plays on a high end turntable. Both sides play perfectly throughout with no discernable deterioration in sound quality and virtually no unwanted noise at all. It really is a superb playing copy which will be almost impossible to improve upon! [Side 1 has a slightly cloudy appearance which was caused at the pressing plant when the warm, freshly-pressed record contacted the poly-lining of the inner sleeve. This is of course purely cosmetic and is only mentioned for complete accuracy].
The inner sleeve is in unmarked EX condition with no splits or tears.
Overall this is a beautiful 1st press copy of Creedence’s stunning third album which will grace any record collection.
GRADINGS
The records that I offer for sale have been critically play-graded, at loud volume, on a Sony PS-X600 turntable fitted with an AT-30E MC cartridge. I will only sell records that play to a high standard. My grading is strict and in accordance with the following descriptions:
· MINT- Record is superb, almost like new, with just a few sleeve removal type surface marks and no deterioration in sound quality. Sleeve is near perfect in all respects.
· EX Record is a top quality example, with just a few very light surface marks which do not sound, and barely any discernable deterioration in sound quality. Sleeve has slight wear and/or creasing.
· VG Record has some visual surface marks, but still plays to a high standard without any major deterioration in sound quality – just a few clicks or light surface sound in places. Sleeve has normal wear and tear without any major defects but is still very presentable.
All records can be expected to rotate sufficiently evenly on the turntable for there to be no effect whatsoever on the audio playback. Minor warps or dishing will not be mentioned as virtually all records display these features to some degree and no record is perfectly flat.

LPs are packaged with care and well protected to ensure that they arrive safely in the same condition as they leave me. Records are removed from both inner and outer sleeves in order to prevent seam-splits in transit.
