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 IS 69 STAMPED ON THE LABEL

THE BLUE LABELS WERE PROMINENT ON THE FIRST FOUR ALBUMS, BUT LATE IN 1969 THE COMPANY CHANGED TO THE BLACK LABELS AND SO ALL OF THE LATE 69 PRESSINGS OF THE FOUR LP'S HAD THE BLACK LABELS

'COSMOS FACTORY' THE FIFTH ALBUM ONLY HAD THE BLACK LABEL

 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 BLACK LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY EXTENDS INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE AND THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS BOTH UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST ONE 2-3 TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 50 YEARS. 

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS. THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST SOME LIGHT AND WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES VISIBLE ONLY AT CERTAIN ANGLES UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT

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.

ALL YOU WILL HEAR IS THE UNBLEMISHED STEREO REPRODUCTION

THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ANY DISTORTION,MEANING THAT THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THAT THIS RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A DECENT SYSTEM, THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.

 NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO CLICKS ETC, JUST PURE FIRST PRESS PRODUCTION

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AND SILENT LINKING GROOVES

I DIDN'T HEAR ANY STATIC TICS OR POPS EITHER

LISTEN TO THE LP PLEASE!!!! IT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT FOR THE AUDIO

 THE SLEEVE

FULLY LAMINATED SINGLE SLEEVE.NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

 THE FRONT SURFACE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR. SUPERB SHEEN TO THIS SLEEVE. THERE IS THE VERY SLIGHTEST TRACE OF LAMINATE LIFT BY THE SPINE WHICH IS JUST A SLIVER RUNNING DOWN THE LENGTH, AND VERY COMMON ON THIS ALBUM

THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE NEAR THE TOP OF THE SPINE. TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE OF WHICH ONE IS SLIGHTLY LONGER AND RUNS TOWARDS THE RIGHT EDGE A LITTLE. THERE IS ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND  ONE SMALL THUMB LINE NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PERFECTLY ADHERED. IT IS SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH ALL THE WAY ALONG AND EVEN THE CORNER TIPS ARE UNBLEMISHED

THE SPINE IS AMAZINGLY FLAT AND CLEAN. ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY AFFIXED. THE TYPEFACE IS ALSO PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS NO RUBBING TO EITHER THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM TIPS

 THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP 

THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS FULLY LAMINATED AND ALSO IN TOP UNBLEMISHED CONDITION. ONE MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINE ON THE SPINE, THREE ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES

 THE ORIGINAL PLAIN WHITE INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS, A LITTLE RECORD IMPRESSION AND SOME EDGE AGEING

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES NEAR MINT

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