1970 FIRST PRESS CREAM LIVE ALBUM. THIS VINYL AND SLEEVE IS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION. WITH THE SLEEVE HAVING BEEN PRESERVED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER, AND THE VINYL NOT HAVING BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN ONCE.

A TRUE MINT EXAMPLE

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. THERE IS NOT ONE BLEMISH ON THEM AND THE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SPINDLE HOLE HAD NO SPIDER LINES AROUND IT WHATSOEVER, AND AS I GENTLY PLACED IT INTO MY TURNTABLE I COULD HEAR AND FEEL THE REMNANT SHARDS OF VINYL STILL EMBEDDED INSIDE THE SPINDLE HOLE.

THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND UNWORN

THE VINYL

THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE A BRAND NEW DISC. IT HAS NO MARKS OF ANY KIND AT ALL ON ANY PART OF THE SURFACE AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING. IT JUST HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE INNER SLEEVE. SOMEONE HERE IS GOING TO GET AN ABSOLUTE GEM. A 40 YEAR OLD UNPLAYED (APART FROM MY TEST PLAY) ICONIC ALBUM

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, IN ADDITION I HAVE RECORDED ONE RANDOM TRACK FROM EACH SIDE, INCLUDING THE LINKING GROOVE AS I WISH TO DEMONSTRATE NOT ONLY THE ABSOLUTE CLARITY OF THE RECORDING, BUT THE SILENCE IN THE BITS THAT SHOULD BE SILENT. PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THIS INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE

I CANNOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW EXCITED I WAS BY FIND ING AND THEN HEARING THIS UNPLAYED LP. I HOPE THAT BY LISTENING TO THE EXCERPTS THAT I HAVE RECORDED YOU ALSO REALISE JUST HOW RARE A FIND THIS IS. THERE IS JUST NO BACKGROUND, NO CLICKS OR POPS, JUST THE INCREDIBLE SOUND FROM HOW IT WAS PRESSED BACK IN 1970

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT UNPLAYED

THE SLEEVE

NON LAMINATED MACNEILL SINGLE SLEEVE IN MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL CONDITION.

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT, CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY MARKS, STAINS OR CREASES. IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE SMALL ONES THAT GATHER CLOSE TO THE SPINE OR OTHER EDGES, AND THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO JUST HOW CAREFULLY IT HAS BEEN HANDLED.

THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO COLOUR LOSS WHATSOEVER, WHICH A SLEEVE LIKE THIS USUALLY SUFFERS FROM. ALL THAT I AM ABLE TO SEE IS ONE VERY THIN SLIVER OF A WHITE LINE ABOUT A HALF INCH IN FROM THE SPINE. INCREDIBLY THERE IS NO RING WEAR AT ALL EITHER.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 95% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, JUST A FEW RANDOM MINISCULE WHITE FLECKS, AND THAT IS BEING VERY PICKY.

THE SPINE HAS THE ORIGINAL PRESS TAPERED ENDS, AND IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT WAS PRINTED AND PUT TOGETHER, SHOWING EXACTLY HOW LITTLE THE SLEEVE AND RECORD HAS BEEN HANDLED.

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITON AS THE FRONT

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL ORIGINAL CONDITION. NO SPLITS AT ALL, AND BARELY A CREASE. A LTTLE OF THE GLUE HAS AGED AND IS LIGHTLY SHOWING THROUGH IN SOME SPOTS, BUT NOTHING TO MAR THE INNER

A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THIS SLEEVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE IT MINT MINUS

I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS INCREDIBLE VINYL AND SLEEVE WILL NEVER NEED UPGRADING

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