A GENUINE VERY FIRST PRESS OF THIS 1974 WINGS ALBUM IN SUPERB NEAR MINT CONDITION, BOTH THE SLEEVE AND THE VINYL.

THE RECORDS

 

THE LABELS

THE 2 PICTURE LABELS ARE IN ABSOLUTELY PRITINE CONDITION. THERE IS NOT A MARK ON EITHER SIDE, AND NO COLOUR LOSS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALSO PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE IS UNWORN. THERE ARE NO MORE THAN THREE VERY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN PLAYED

THE VINYL

SUPERBLY GLOSSY AS NEW DISC WHICH HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE. ONLY UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION ARE THERE A FEW WISPY LINES TO BE SEEN

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, I HAVE ALSO RECORDED THE LINKING GROOVES TO THE START OF THE OTHER TRACKS THAT ON OFFER. THE REPORDUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS. THERE IS THE ODD BIT OF VERY VERY LIGHT BACKGROUND, AND A FEW RANDOM LITTLE TINY POPS, BUT NOTHING TO DETERE FROM THE MAGNIFICENT REPRODUCTION OF THIS SUPERB FIRST PRESS

 AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS LP NEAR MINT

 

 

 

THE SLEEVE

 

NON LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE IN COMPLETELY SUPERB CONDITION. THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN HOUSED IN A PLASTIC OUTER FROM NEW. THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND PERFECTLY CLEAN. THERE HAS BEEN NO RUBBING TO THE SURFACE WHATSOEVER, AND THUS THERE IS NO COLOUR LOSS. THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES OR BENDS OR RINGWEAR. JUST TWO VERY SMALL LINES , ONE VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINE, AND THE OTHER ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, BUT BOTH BARELY VISIBLE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE TOTALLY UNWORN , ANOTHER SIGN THAT THIS HAS BEEN PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM NEW

THE SPINE IS IMMACULTE. FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECT.

THE OPENING EDGE ONCE AGAIN IS ' AS NEW' RAZOR SHARP, AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE LP HAS JUST NOT BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES EVER!!

THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PRISTINE AS THE FRONT IN EVERY WAY

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE WITH THE ROUNDED CORNERS IS IN MINT CONDITION. PERFECTLY FLAT, NO CREASES, AND NO SEAM SPLITS

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS

 

 

 

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