    THE LABELS

    THE LABELS ON THIS ALBUM, LIKE THE REST OF THE SET WAS MADE TO LOOK LIKE A BOOTLEG, SO INSTEAD OF THE USUAL BLACK TRACK LABELS, THESE WERE ISSUED ON A WHITE LABEL WITH BLUE TYPEFACE. THE WHITE SURFACE IS STILL A BRILLIANT WHITE AND HAS NO STAINING OR HANDLING MARKS AT ALL. THE WHITENESS EXTENDS ALL THE WAY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES

    THE LABEL ALSO STATES "CRACKLING NOISES OK. DO NOT CORRECT" THIS IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A MIKE CABLE LOOSE DURING THE RECORDING AND THIS CAUSED SOME CLICKS AND CRACKLE THROUGHOUT THE RECORDING. IT WAS DECIDED TO LEAVE THEM IN FOR AUTHENTICITY.

    THE VINYL

    VERY GLOSSY AND PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF THIS ALBUM. IN DAYLIGHT THE RECORD STILL LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY SPOT A COUPLE OF TINY WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES

    PLAYING THE RECORD

    THE LP STARTS WITH A SILENT RUN IN TO TRACK ONE " YOUNG MAN". LIVE AT LEEDS SET THE STANDARD FOR LIVE ALBUM IN THAT THE PRODUCTION WAS ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING. THE RECORDING IS VERY LOUD AND THE STEREO PRODUCTION IS SECOND TO NONE. 

    IT IS CLEAR FROM THE OFF THAT THERE IS NO WEAR TO THE GROOVES AS THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO BE HEARD ANYWHERE. 

    EACH TRACK PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. CRYSTAL CLEAR AND FREE FROM AND UNWANTED NOISES. JUST THE ODD STATIC LIKE CRACKLE THAT IS MENTIONED ON THE RECORD LABEL. 

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

    NO TICS OR POPS

    BOTH SIDES PLAY SUPERBLY AND I HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO LISTEN TO IT BEFORE DECIDING TO LAY A BID.

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IS GRADING THIS SUPERB FIRST PRESS AUDIO PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT

     

    THE SLEEVE


    DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A BOOTLEG IT IS NO MORE THAN A BROWN SLEEVE HELD BY TWO STAPLES TO SECURE THE INNER POUCHES THAT CONTAIN 12 INSERTS, AND THE LP. THESE STAPLES WERE FAR TOO WEAK TO HOLD THIS LOT AND MOST COPIES YOU WILL FIND WILL BE SPLIT AND IN VERY SHABBY CONDITION DUE TO THE POUROUS NATURE OF THE SLEEVE. THIS ONE HAS NOT HAD THAT DAMAGE

    FIRSTLY THE RED STAMP IS VERY PROMINENT AND HEAVILY INKED, A BEAUTIFUL SHARP AND CLEAR STAMP UNLIKE MANY

    INSIDE THE SLEEVE IT IS PRINTED 'MADE BY AKENMAY'

    THE TWO ORIGINAL STAPLES ARE BOTH FIRMLY IN PLACE AND NEITHER OF THE INNER POCKETS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED OR SPLIT. 

    THE SPINE IS PERFECT

    THE SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION AND NO AGED OR STAINED LIKE MOST, JUST THE MILDEST SHADOW OF HANDLING ALONG THE SPINE

    NO CREASES EITHER
    OPENING THE GATEFOLD SHOWS THAT THE TWO POCKETS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. BOTH STAPLES ARE FIRM

    THE REAR SURFACE IS AS PERFECT AS THE FRONT


    THE INSERTS

    THERE ARE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN 12 INSERTS THAT MAKE UP THIS SET, A LOT OF SELLERS WILL LIST ANYTHING FROM NONE TO 10, BUT IT IS A FULL SET OF TWELVE THAT YOU NEED.

    THIS SLEEVE AND THE INSERTS EASILY GRADE MINT MINUS


     

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