IN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT CONDITION
ORIGINAL UK BLUE LIBERTY LABEL
- CATALOGUE:LBS83261
- MATRIX:LBS83261 A//1 420 / B//1 420
- FIRST PRESS INDICATORS
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL AMAZINGLY RECORDED AND RELEASED 6 ALBUMS WITHIN A 2 YEAR SPAN FROM 1968-1970. IN FACT HERE IN THE UK THERE WERE 4 RELEASES IN 1969 WITH THE DEBUT ALBUM (RECORDED IN 1968) NOT ACTUALLY RELEASED IN THE UK UNTIL 1969, WHICH IS WHY IT IS 69 STAMPED ON THE LABEL
I HAVE MANAGED TO AQUIRE THE FIRST THREE ALBUMS IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS 'NEAR IMPOSSIBLE' CONDITION. PLAYED JUST THE ONCE EVER!!! AND THEN CAREFULLY STORED AWAY, THESE ALBUMS BELONGED TO A RECORD EXECUTIVE WHO RECENTLY DOWNSIZED HIS COLLECTION
I WILL RELEASE THE OTHER TWO ALBUMS IN THE COMING DAYS
I MAKE NO APOLOGY FOR USING VIRTUALLY THE SAME DESCRIPTION, BUT ALL 3 LP'S ARE IN THE SAME STAGGERING CONDITION
THE RECORD
IT IS ONLY THE VERY FIRST PRESSES OF THE 1969 CCR ALBUMS THAT YOU WILL FIND ON THE RARE BLUE LIBERTY LABEL, ALL THE REISSUES WERE ON THE BLACK BLABEL
THE LABELS
THE 2 SHADES OF BLUE ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST ONE MINISCULE SPIDER LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND EVEN THIS YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT UNDER A LIGHT, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 41 YEARS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.
AS I PLACED THE DISC ONTO MY TURNTABLE I COULD HEAR THE SHARDS OF RESIDUAL VINYL STILL INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING AGAIN WHY THIS INCREDIBLE ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED!!!
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SPOTLESS MINT CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , POSSIBLY A COUPLE OF 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 DECIDED THAT IT WAS DESERVING TO RECORD THE ENTIREW ALBUM FROM START TO FINSH TO DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW MAGNIFICENT THIS INCREDIBLE 1969 ALBUM REALLY IS
ALL YOU WILL HEAR IS THE UNBLEMISHED STEREO REPRODUCTION
THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ANY DISTORTION, NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICK ETC, JUST PURE FIRST PRESS PRODUCTION
IF I AM BEING ULTRA PICKY THEN THERE IS PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS THOUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PLAY, BUT HONESTLY THE LP IS 41 YEARS OLD AND HAS SAT INSIDE A PLASTIC SLEEVE FOR ALL THAT TIME
LISTEN TO THE LP PLEASE!!!! IT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!!!!!
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR, AND THE LAMINATE IS UNAFFECTED BY ANY CREASES OR CREASELINES. IN FACT THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY BY THE SPINE OR EITHER OF THE TWO SEALED EDGES. THERE IS THE VERY SLIGHTEST TRACE OF LAMINATE LIFT BY THE SPINE WHICH IS JUST A SLIVER RUNNING DOWN THREE QUARTERS OF THE LENGTH.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED.
THE SPINE IS AMAZINGLY FLAT AND CLEAN. IT HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY AFFIXED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP WITH JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY SMALL THUMB NAIL NICKS TO SHOW WHERE THE LP WAS PLUCKED FROM THE SLEVE ONCE.
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS FULLY LAMINATED AND ALSO IN TOP UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. THE SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT THAT I MENTIONED ON THE FRONT IS ALSO PRESENT ON THE REAR, BUT IT REALLY CAN ONLY BE SPOTTED IN A STRONG ANGLED LIGHT
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN STUNNING CONDITION. THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT IS IS FLAT WITH JUST THE CORNERS LIGHTLY CREASED WHERE THEY WERE PEHAPS FOLDED OVER TO STOP THE DISC COMING OUT. THE THREE SEAMS ARE PERFECT AND UNSPLIT, AND THE TOP OPENING EDGE IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS THE BAREST TOUCH OF AGING IN THE FORM OF SOME VERY VERY LIGHT BROWNING TO THE PERIMETER EDGES.
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
