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

 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 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 THREE MINISCULE SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, SHOWING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN PLAYED IN ITS 49 YEARS. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND UNRUBBED.!

THE VINYL

SUPERB GLEAMING ORIGINAL HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IN SUPREME CONDITION. . THE DISC GLEAMS IS FREE FROM ANY HANDLING MARKS ON EITHER SIDE. AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE , 0THERTHAN A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES

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 WHOLE LP FROM START TO FINISH SO THAT YOU AS A BIDDER ARE ABLE TO JUDGE THE QUALITY OF THE RECORD'S AUDIO

YOU WILL HEAR AN UNBLEMISHED STEREO REPRODUCTION

THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ANY DISTORTION, SHOWING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THIS RECORD HAS HAD, WAS CONDUCTED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLI

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE

NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

NO STATIC ANYWHERE AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT

IF I AM BEING ULTRA PICKY THEN THERE IS PERHAPS A COUPLE OF TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE ENTIRE PLAY.

THE LP IS 50 YEARS OLD AND HAS SAT INSIDE A THE SLEEVE, VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED FOR ALL THAT TIME

LISTEN TO THE LP IT IS JUST MAGNIFICENT

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO PERFORMANCE AS MINT MINUS

THE SLEEVE

FRAGILE THIN AND TEXTURED SINGLE SLEEVE

THE FIRST TWO ALBUMS WERE FULLY LAMINATED AND HAD STRONG CARD FOR THE SLEEVES, QUITE WHY THE DECISION TO REPLACE THEM WITH A FLIMSY UNLAMINATED AND TEXTURED SLEEVE I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT OF ALL THE CCR SLEEVES IT IS THIS ONE THAT IS THE HARDEST TO GET IN A GREAT COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, FOR THOSE VERY REASONS

THIS COPY HOWEVER I BELIEVE IS AS GOOD AS YOU COULD POSSIBLY FIND

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE ON THE SURFACE, AND IMPORTANTLY THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE AND BENDS OR FOLDS.

THE COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND FREE FROM ANY RUBBING TO THE TEXTURED SURFACE

BUT WHAT IS INCREDIBLE IS THAT THERE IS JUST ONE REALLY TINY LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE. I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE MANY, BUT CLEARLY THIS LP SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROPERLY HOUSED INSIDE A STRONG PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW

THERE ARE JUST THREE MINUSCULE AND BARELY VISIBLE PRESSURE LINES AGAINST THE SPINE. ONE ON THE TOP EDGE, ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION . RARELY DO YOU FIND THIS SLEEVE WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS INTACT,BUT THIS COPY IS SUPERB WITH JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS

THE SPINE ALSO IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. INCREDIBLY ALL OF THE TEXT IS STILL IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE ONLY SPECK OF RUB IS SHOWN ON THE BOTTOM TIP

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP SHOWING WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS FULLY TEXTURED AND ALSO IN SUPERB CONDITION. ONE VERY SMALL LIGHT CREASE LINE IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER

THE ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN STUNNING CONDITION. THE FIRST THING TO NOTE IS THAT IS IS FLAT AND FREE FROM SEAM SPLITS. IT IS THE ACTUAL ONE FROM THE FACTORY THAT MATCHES THE SLEEVE AS IT HAS THE DATE 0370 PRINTED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THERE IS A RUBBER STAMP FROM THE SELLER WHO SOLD ORIGINALLY STAMPED ON THE FRONT SIDE

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES MINT MINUS

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