UK POLYDOR (6212 001) EARLY 1970s *STEREO* PRESSING OF CREAM'S 1968 DOUBLE LP SET "Wheels Of Fire"
VERY NICE COPY - SEEN LITTLE PLAY

PRESSED WITH RED STEREO POLYDOR LABELS
MATRIX: 583031 A//2 ?420 12 28 / 583031 B//1 ?420 14 6 / 583032 A//1 ?420 1 10 / 583032 B//2 ?420 11 11 12
THE TWO RECORDS ARE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL SILVERED GATEFOLD SLEEVE “Printed by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd., London W11."
COMPLETE WITH THE TWO ORIGINAL POLYDOR POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVES WHICH ARE DATE CODED September/October 1971 - SO I GUESS THAT'S THE DATE OF THIS RELEASE (otherwise, very hard to date precisely)

RECORD ONE: IN THE STUDIO:
SIDE A: WHITE ROOM / SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD / PASSING THE TIME
SIDE B: PRESSED RAT AND WARTHOG / POLITICIAN / THOSE WERE THE DAYS / BORN UNDER A BAD SIGN / DESERTED CITIES OF THE HEART
RECORD TWO: LIVE AT THE FILLMORE:
SIDE C: CROSSROADS / SPOONFUL
SIDE D: TRAINTIME / TOAD

LABELS: EXCELLENT++
Clean, bright labels with barely a spindle trace to be seen - this set has clearly seen little play
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Both records retain their original deep, glossy sheen and are practically unmarked (one short and superficial hairline on Side Three only which has no audio impact)
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT++ (Record One) / EXCELLENT (Record Two)
A pretty quiet cut to this pressing but my play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues of note - no scratches and no groove-wear or distortion - just a touch of surface on some of the track divisions and quietest passages and some intermittent clicks on Record Two (all very minor and I did play this at a very loud volume due to the relatively quiet cut) otherwise, the sound performance is deep, rich and heavy and it sounds great
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The classic (wildly psychedelic) silvered cover has a little rubbing to the outer surfaces (not much) but the inside is clean, bright and fresh.
Very little rubbing to the edges or spine - all spine text is clear and bold.
Overall, a fine example
INNER SLEEVES: EXCELLENT
No seam splits - just some age-related discolouration

ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVES WITH ANTI-STATIC LINERS, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
