1968 DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE LEGENDARY CANNED HEAT. THIS LP IS IN THE MOST AMAZING CONDITION POSSIBLE. TO FIND THIS RARITY IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS MINT MINUS CONDITION IS JUST INCREDIBLE. I AM AT A LOSS TO EXPLAIN WHY SUCH AN ALBUM HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED, BUT THEN AGAIN SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET THE BEST COPY OF THIS ALBUM ON THE MARKET

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LIBERTY LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THE PASTEL BLUE IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS SHARP AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND THE WHITE LOGOS ARE PURE WHITE AND UNBLEMISHED. THERE ARE JUST 3-4 SMALL AND BARELY VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE SHOWING THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE. THERE IS STILL SOME RESIDUAL VINYL SHARDS INSIDE THE HOLE WHICH IS VISIBLE ON SIDE 2 OF THE LABEL, AGAIN SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING. APART FROM A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

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 HAVE RECORDED FOUR THREE MINUTE EXCERPTS  FROM THIS  ALBUM,  I HAVE RECORDED THE FIRST TRACK FROM EACH SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DEAD WAX RUN IN, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE

THE CRISP CLEAN ORIGINAL MONO SOUND IS PURE FIRST PRESS.HAVING PLAYED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH I CAN CONFIRM THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS GOING TO SPOIL THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VINYL. THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE, NOR ANY CLICKS. THERE IS THE VERY ODD BIT OF VERY LIGHT STATIC IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS,AND THE VERY OCCASIONAL DUST POP IN A COUPLE OF PLACES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

LAMINATED FRONT AND NON LAMINATED REAR SURFACE

THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A MIRROR IS IS JUST PRISTINE. IT WAS KEPT FROM NEW IN A PROTECTIVE PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY IT IS IN SUCH MAGNIFICENT CONDITION SOME 42 YEARS ON

THE LAMINATE IS AS PERFECT AS YOU COULD WANT. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS ETC. FIVE RIDICULOUSLY TINY LAMINATE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, ARE THE ONLY ISSUES ON THIS IMMACULATE COVER

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALSO PRISTINE. NOT ONE JOT OF SHELF WEAR AT ALL

THE SPINE HAS THE ORIGINAL PRESS TAPERED ENDS, AND IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.

THE REAR SURFACE IS TOTALLY WHITE AND IN MINT CONDITION. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER EXAMPLE OF HOW A SLEEVE SHOULD BE CARED FOR. THIS REALLY IS SUPERB

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL, AND BARELY A CREASE.

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS

I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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