CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL -BAYOU COUNTRY
IN BARELY PLAYED CONDITION
ORIGINAL UK BLUE LIBERTY LABEL
- CATALOGUE:LBS83261
- MATRIX:LBS83261 A//1 420 / B//1 420
- FIRST PRESS INDICATORS
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL AMAZINGLY RECORDED AND RELEASED 6 ALBUMS WITHIN A 2 YEAR SPAN FROM 1968-1970. IN FACT HERE IN THE UK THERE WERE 4 RELEASES IN 1969 WITH THE DEBUT ALBUM (RECORDED IN 1968) NOT ACTUALLY RELEASED IN THE UK UNTIL 1969, WHICH IS WHY IT HAS 69 STAMPED ON THE LABEL.
BAYOU COUNTRY IS THE SECOND ALBUM
THE RECORD
IT IS ONLY THE VERY FIRST PRESSES OF THE 1969 CCR ALBUMS THAT YOU WILL FIND ON THE RARE BLUE LIBERTY LABEL, ALL THE REISSUES WERE ON THE BLACK BLABEL
THE LABELS
THE 2 SHADES OF BLUE ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST TWO TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC THAT LOOKS SPOTLESS IN DAYLIGHT. THERE IS ONE TINY WHITE DOT ON THE FINAL TRACK OF SIDE ONE. I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DOT OF UNCOLURED VINYL AS IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T SOUND
UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION I CAN SEE SOME WISPY HAIRLINES AND A FEW SMALL HANDLING LINES
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 THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
THE SUPERB 1ST PRESS STEREO REPRODUCTION IS LOUD AND MAGNIFICENT. NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER.
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IF YOU SIT VERY CLOSE TO THE SPEAKERS IS A TINY RANDOM AMOUNT OF BARELY AUDIBLE VINYL NOISE (STATIC LIKE) WITH A FEW TINY TINY POPS HERE AND THERE. IT IS HOWEVER THE MUSIC THAT SHINES THROUGH AND ANY NOISE IS ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL
THE VINYL PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH
THESE BLUE LABEL FIRST PRESSES ARE BECOMING VERY SCARCE
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.
THE FRONT SURFACE RETAINS THE ORIGINAL SHEEN AND GLEAMS LIKE POLISHED GLASS. THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR BENDS ANYWHERE, AND NO RECORD SHAPE OR RING WEAR. 5 TINY LAMINATE LINES BY THE SPINE, A SLIVER OF LAMINATE LIFT RUNNING DOWN THE SPINE EDGE, AND THREE TINY THIMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE ARE THE ONLY SMALL ANOMLIES
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED.
THE SPINE IS AMAZINGLY FLAT AND CLEAN, WITH JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB TO FINGERS SQUASHES. IT HAS THE TAPERED ENDS AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY AFFIXED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP SHOWING WHY THE LP IS IN THE SUPERB CONDITION THAT IT IS. IT HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE
THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS FULLY LAMINATED AND APART FROM A FEW TINY LAMINATE LINES NEAR THE SPINE AND BOTTOM EDGE, IS UNBLEMISHED. AGAIN NO RINGWEAR OR RECORD SHAPE, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS FIRMLY AFFIXED
THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN ORIGINAL CONDITION. IT IS STILL VERY VERY WHITE AND UNSPLIT. THERE ARE FEW CREASE LINES WHERE IT HAS SAT INSIDE THE SLEEVE UNDISTURBED FOR ALL THESE YEARS
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
