REMERGENCE
EVERY ONE A GEM, AND IN OUTSTANDING AUDIO CONDITION. THE GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE GATEFOLD COVER IS IN LOVELY CONDITION. THIS LP WAS RELEASED IN 1970, AND 38 YEARS ON, IT HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR, AND IT SHOWS. THESE UNLAMINATED COVERS USUALLY WEAR VERY BADLY. THIS ONE IS NOT PERFECT- THERE IS MINOR SHELFWEAR RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM EDGE AND CORNERS, BUT NOT AT ALL BAD. THE SPINE IS IMMACULATE, WIDE AND SQUARE AND UNMARKED. 100% READABLE AS THE PHOTO SHOWS. THE FRONT AND REAR ARE CLEAN AND UNFADED. THE INNER GATEFOLD IS SPOTLESS. OVERALL STRICT GRADING OF THE COVER IS EXCELLENT. HARD TO FIND BETTER.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE HARVEST ORIGINAL INNER ADVERTISING OTHER RELEASES BY THEIR ARTISTS. POLY LINED, AND IN LOVELY ORDER. IT IS STARTING TO YELLOW WITH AGE, AS TO BE EXPECTED, AND IT HAS SOME CREASING, BUT NO RIPS OR TEARS. THERE IS A 25mm SLIT TO THE BOTTOM EDGE, THATS ALL. OVERALL GRADED AS EXCELLENT MINUS.
THE LABELS ARE THE YELLOW/GREEN HARVEST FEATURING THE "GRAMOPHONE CO LTD" TEXT ROUND THE RIMS, AND, OF COURSE, NO EMI BOXES. THIS RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED AND LOVED, SO THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE MARKS ON BOTH LABELS. THAT APART, THEY ARE GREAT. GRADED AS EXCELLENT MINUS.
THE VINYLS THEMSELVES ARE IN STUNNING CONDITION FOR THEIR AGE. HARDLY A TRACE OF SLEEVE REMOVAL HAIRLINES AT ALL. THEY HAVE A DEEP GLOSSY BLACK SHEEN, AND THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME VERY WELL. THERE IS ONLY 1 MARK WORTHY OF MENTION AT ALL, AND THAT IS ON SIDE 2, TRACK 3, AND IS 6mm IN LENGTH. IT HAS NO DEPTH, AND WITH SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO MY TRACKING WEIGHT, HAS NO AUDIO IMPACT AT ALL. IF I DO NOT ADJUST THE WEIGHT, I GET 1 LIGHT CLICK, THAT IS ALL. OVER IN A SPLIT SECOND. ONLY DUE TO THIS ONE LITTLE MARK DO I GRADE THE VINYLS AS EXCELLENT, OTHERWISE I WOULD SAY NEAR MINT! THE AUDIO IS PERFECTION. SUCH AN EARLY COPY MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO LATER PRESSINGS. THE SEPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS IS AWESOME, AND THE SOUNDSTAGE CREATED IS UNCANNILY REALISTIC. THIS IS PRESENTED WITH ALL ITS ORIGINAL POWER AND MOOD, JUST AS THE FLOYD RECORDED IT.
OVERALL THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD TO BETTER. AS A COMPLETE PACKAGE, IT GRADES AS EXCELLENT. HAVE A LOOK AT MY FEEDBACK RATINGS, AND BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE. YOU WILL GO A LONG WAY TO BETTER THIS. I WILL SELL WORLDWIDE, AND AT END OF SALE OFFER POSTAGE AND INSURANCE OPTIONS. THIS IS A VALUABLE COLLECTORS ITEM, AND I ROBUSTLY PACKAGE AND SPEEDILY DESPATCH ALL MY ITEMS. IF THIS IS NOT AS ADVERTISED, I OFFER A REFUND UPON THE SAFE RETURN OF THE LP. NEVER HAD I HAD A MURMER OF COMPLAINT ON MY DESCRIPTIONS, AND NEVER EXPECT A RETURN. I DESCRIBE ACCURATLY AND IN DETAIL. WHAT YOU TREAD IS WHAT YOU GET!! SO DONT MISS THIS CHANCE TO OWN ANOTHER CLASSIC PIECE OF PINK FLOYD HISTORY IN STUNNING CONDITION. ANY QUESTIONS? ASK AWAY. I WILL ANSWER THEM ALL. NUFF SAID! HAPPY BIDDING AND GOOD LUCK.
