THE NIMBUS SUPERCUT ISSUE OF THIS ALBUM WAS ONLY MADE AVAILABLE TO READERS OF HI-FI TODAY MAGAZINE. IT WAS MASTERED AND PRESSED EXCLUSIVELY AND IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN ALBUM FOR AUDIOPHILES.
I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE LP HAS THE CLARITY OF A COMPACT DISC WITH THE WARMTH AND DEPTH THAT YOU ONLY GET FROM VINYL. IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE BEST EVER RECORDING OF BAND ON THE RUN!!
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE APPLE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THEM AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS TOTALLY UNWORN, AND STILL HAS SHARDS OF RESIDUE VINYL INSIDE FROM THE FACTORY PRESSING MACHINE. THERE ARE NO SPIDER LINES AROUND THE HOLE WHATSOEVER
THE VINYL
A BEAUTIFUL HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL, THAT GLEAMS LIKE NEW. LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST PRESSED.
IT IS TOTALLY SPOTLESS AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SEE AT ALL
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 WAS IN TWO MINDS WHETEHR TO PLAY THIS ALBUM, BUT I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DEMONSTARTE JUST HOW AMAZING THIS RECORDING IS, AND SO MY ONE VERY CAREFUL TEST PLAY HAS JUST FINISHED AND THESE ARE THE RESULTS.
AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING VINYL REPRODUCTION THAT IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD THIS ALBUM SOUND
NO BACKGROUND NOISES, NO CRACKLES, POPS OR STATIC WHATSOEVER. JUST A MAGNIFICENT FIRST PRESS QUALITY WITH A PRODUCTION THAT IS BOTH CRISP AND CLEAR. .
PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO PLAY THE SOUNDBITES AND MARVEL AT THE RECORDING
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT !!!!!
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.
INCIDENTALLY THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO TELL IF YOU OWN A FIRST PRESS SLEEVE. SIMPLY THE SPINE WILL HAVE TAPERED EDGES, AND THE SPINE WORDING IS ALSO ON THE TOP EDGE.
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, AND IT HAS BEEN KEPT INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FOR ALL OF IT'S LIFE AND HAS THEREFORE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME SUPERBLY
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT NONE OF THE BROWN SURFACE HAS BEEN RUBBED AWAY
SECONDLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR WHATSOEVER.
THERE ARE ALSO NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS. AND INCREDIBLY THERE ARE NO LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE EITHER AND THAT'S UNHEARD OF.
THE NIMBUS STICKER IS FIRMLY AFFIXED TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AGAIN A SIGN OF UNTIMATE PROTECTION.
THE SPINE IS ALSO UNWORN, HAS THE FIRST PRESS TAPERED EDGES, AND ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP, AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS EXCEPTIONAL AS THE FRONT AGAIN NO LINES ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE
THE SLEEVE HAS JUST THE BAREST SHADOW OF RECORD SHAPE BUT ONLY IF ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT, BUT SERIOUSLY THIS IS NOTHING
THE INNER SLEEVE HAS THE ROUNDED CORNERS AND A THUMB NOTCH, AND SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER SEEN ON A BAND ON THE RUN INNER. IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER IT HAS THE FOLLOWING TEXT. 1973 MPL COMMUNICATIONS INC. ALL OTHER COPIES HAVE EMI TEXT.
ALSO JUST AFTER THE CATALOGUE NUMBER THERE IS THE NUMBER ONE IN BRACKETS. I WONDER IF THIS IS UNIQUE TO THE NIMBUS CUT
THE LARGE POSTER IS ALSO IN MINT CONDITION
HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
AN OUTSTANDING VAULT CONDITION COLLECTIBLE THAT WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
GARRY
