THE BYRDS - UNTITLED
MAGNIFICENT UNPLAYED ( APART FROM MY TEST PLAY ) AND MINT AUDIO
MINT MINUS SLEEVE
US 1ST PRESS
- CATALOGUE:COLUMBIA G30127
- MATRIX: PAL 30181 1-D o / PBL 30181 1-B o / PAL 30182 1-B o / PBL 30182 1-D o
- SLEEVE: REAR TRACKLISTING MIXED UP, NO SIDES LISTED & THERE IS NOTHING UNDER 'PRODUCED BY TERRY MELCHER'
THIS ALBUM IS QUITE SPECIAL AS I BELIEVE IT IS THE VERY FIRST ISSUE. THERE SEEM TO BE MANY PRESSINGS OF THIS ALBUM, BUT CERTAIN INFORMATION MAKES ME CONCLUDE THAT THIS IS INDEED A PRE RELEASE COPY
ONLY THE VERY FIRST ISSUE SLEEVES HAVE THE TRACK LISTING ON THE REAR IN MUDDLED ORDER AND NO SIDES LISTED. 1.E THE TRACK LISTING DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE ORDER OF THE RECORDS. THE FIRST TRACK LISTED ON THIS SLEEVE IS 'ALL THE THINGS' ALL LATER RELEASES HAVE THE SIDES WITH THE CORRECT TRACKS LISTED UNDERNEATH THEM
SECONDLY THIS SLEEVE ONLY HAS 'PRODUCED BY TERRY MELCHER' UNDERNEATH THE TRACK LISTING, NO FURTHER INFORMATION LIKE YOU GET ON ALL OF THE OTHER SLEEVES (INCLUDING THE FIRST ISSUE). ONLY THE PROMO COPY PRE RELEASE HAS JUST THE TERRY MELCHER WORDING
FINALLY THE TRACK LISTING INCLUDES 'KATHLEEN' WHICH DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE ALBUM AND ALSO 'TAG' WHICH SIMILARLY DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE ALBUM
TO LISTEN TO THE RECORD, PLEASE PRESS PLAY ON THE PLAYER, AND WAIT FOR IT TO LOAD. IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MINUTE. THE NEW SOFTWARE IS SLOWER THAN THE OLDER ONE. BY THE TIME YOU HAVE READ THROUGH THE DESCRIPTION IT SHOULD START TO PLAY<

THE LABELS
THE RED COLUMBIA LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. RICH AND VIBRANT RED COLOUR WITH SHARP UN-RUBBED YELLOW RIM TEXT. THE BLACK TRACK LISTING IS PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE
I CANNOT SEE ANY SPIDER LINES AROUND ANY OF THE SPINDLE HOLES
THE VINYL
FOUR SHINY LP'S THAT HAVE RETAINED THEIR ORIGINAL SHEEN. THEY LOOK TOTALLY MINT IN DAYLIGHT, AND EVEN WHEN PACED UNDER FOUR LED SPOTLIGHTS THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE ARE A COUPLE OF WISPY HAIRLINES, AND A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS ON DISC TWO
PLAYING THE RECORD
BOTH OF THESE DISCS PLAY 'AS NEW' I SUSPOECT THAT TODAY WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE BEEN ON A TURNTABLE OR SECOND AT WORST.
THE AUDIO IS JUST SUBLIME
PERFECT CLEAN AND CLEAR STEREO SOUND
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
CLEAN NOISELESS LINKING GROOVES. NO CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS
NO STATIC EITHER ENSURING DEATHLY QUIET SILENT PASSAGES
I HEARD JUST 1-2 TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE PLAY THROUGH OF BOTH ALBUMS
IT IS MY PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS MINT
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT THOUGH, HAVE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
NON LAMINATED GATE FOLD SLEEVE MADE FROM HEAVY CARD
THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS OR STAINS
THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THERE IS NO RING WEAR, JUST THE VERY LIGHTEST SMALL ARC OF RECORD SHAPE JUST ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE.
FOUR SHARP SQUARE CORNERS WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE TIP ENDS
NO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE, OR THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
THE TOP EDGES ARE FULLY COLOURED WITH ONLY A TINY SPECK OF RUB AT THE CORNER TIPS.
THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE VERY SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE MORE RUB AT THE CORNER TIPS
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND FREE FROM ANY SQUASHING. PERFECT TYPEFACE WITH THE ONLY RUBBING SHOWING AS LIGHT LEADING EDGE WHITE IN PATCHES AND THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS
THE TWO OPENING EDGES ARE RAZOR SHARP AND SHOW JUST WHY THE SET HAS REMAINED UNPLAYED.
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT, AND AGAIN NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, OR PRESSURE LINES BY ANY OF THE EDGES. THERE IS THE LIGHTEST SMALL ARC OF RING WEAR JUST UNDER THE TOP EDGE AND OVER THE BOTTOM EDGE
OPENING THE GATE FOLD REVEALS TWO PRISTINE INNER PANELS
THE TWO ADVERTISING INNER SLEEVES ARE ALSO BOTH IN PRISTINE UN-SPLIT CONDITION. NO CREASES EITHER, JUST LIGHT BROWNING AT THE EDGES MAINLY
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
