THIS RECORD IS SERIOUSLY RARE. YOU COULD SPEND MONTHS LOOKING THOUGH STORES BEFORE YOU CAME ACROSS ONE OF THESE, AND IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MATRIX NUMBER. VERY VERY FEW WERE PRESSED WITH THIS NUMBER.

IF YOU GET TO OWN THIS VINYL YOU WILL BE ONE OF ONLY A SMALL BAND OF COLLECTORS WHO HAVE A GENUINE FIRST PRESS
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN NMINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, THE JET BLACK BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE HOLE AND THE SILVER APPLE LOGO AND TYPEFACE IS PERFECT. THEY ARE EVER SO SLIGHTLY OFF CENTRE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE ANY ISSUES
THERE ARE JUST 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE, SHOWING THE LIMITED PLAY THE DISC HAS RECEIVED SINCE 1973
THE VINYL
A BEAUTIFUL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL,THAT HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN.
IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK TO BE SEEN ON THE DISC, AND IT'S ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THAT A FEW LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES CAN BE SEEN AND A SMALL NON SOUNDING HANDLING MARK ON SIDE TWO
PLAYING THE RECORD
THE SOUND GENERATED BY THIS FIRST PRESS SURPASSES EVERY OTHER PRESS I HAVE EVER HEARD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NIMBUS PRESS PERHAPS. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE STEREO REPRODUCTION. LOUD, AND CLEAR IT PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER.
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE ANYWHERE
NO LOUD CRACKLE OR CLICKS
THERE IS SOME ODD LITTLE STATIC LIKE VINYL NOISE HEARD IN A FEW OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES AND ONE OR TWO TINY LITTLE DUST POPS
THIS AUDIO EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN TO IT AND YOU BE THE JUDGE
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THIS IS A SLEEVE THAT DESPITE BEST INTENTIONS SUFFERS BADLY FROM COLOUR LOSS, RING WEAR AND SEVERE CREASING DUE TO THE THIN CARD THAT WAS USED TO MAKE IT, THUS FINDING A GREAT SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO DO.
THIS ONE HOWEVER IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST EXAMPLE I HAVE EVER COEM ACROSS
THE FIRST PRESS SLEEVE IS MADE FROM A FAR STIFFER CARD THAN ANY OTHER I HAVE HELD AND STANDS UP TO THE RINGWEAR FAR BETTER THAN THE THINNER COVERS THAT FOLLOWED
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT NONE OF THE BROWN SURFACE HAS BEEN RUBBED AWAY APART FROM A SLIVER ON THE OPENING EDGE AND SECONDLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER, JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE.
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THERE ARE ALSO NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. THERE ARE JUST TWO MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE,NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
YOU DON'T OFTEN FIND THIS SLEEVE WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT AND THAT MAKE THIS COPY ALL THE MORE SPECIAL
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE JUST NEAR PERFECT WITH THE VERY VERY SLIGHTEST BIT OF RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS ONLY
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNWORN, FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. ALL OF THE COLOUR IS THERE WITH ONLY A DOT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM TIP. THE TEXT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND INDICATES THAT THE LP HAS HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS TIMMACULATE AS THE FRONT WITH JUST A FEW TINY LINES DOWN THE SPINE EDGE.
THE INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO EASILY IDENTIFIABLE AS A FIRST PRESS BY THE CORNER SNIPPED OFF FROM ONE OF THE BOTTOM CORNERS, AND IN ADDITION A THUMB GROOVE ALONG THE TOP EDGE.
THIS HAS BOTH OF THOSE INDICATORS, AND IS IN MINT CONDITION. UNUSUALLY NO SEAM SPLITS AND NO CREASES
PRISTINE UNSOILED BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE
THE LP HAS NOW BEEN PLACED INSIDE A NEW POLY LINED INNER TO ENSURE THAT NO HARM CAN COME TO THE INNER.
THE LARGE POSTER IS ALSO IN TOP CONDITION, HAVING SHARP CREASE SEAMS AND NO MARKS BACK OR FRONT
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
