  • FULLY TEST PLAYED AND RECORDED SO YOU CAN HEAR IT BEFORE BIDDING Powered by eCommercePlayer.com Powered by eCommercePlayer.com CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL -WILLY AND THE POOR BOYS

     MAGNIFICENT  NEAR MINT AUDIO

    ORIGINAL UK BLUE LIBERTY LABEL

    EX TEXTURED SLEEVE


    •  

    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 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 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 A MAGNIFYING LED HALO I CAN ONLY SEE ONE WISPY HAIRLINE

    THE TEST PLAY


    THE ALBUM PLAYS WITH UTMOST CLARITY

    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 NEAR SILENT

    ALL I HEARD DURING THE PLAY WERE A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO, AND A COUPLE OF VERY TINY DUST TICS ON SIDE TWO TRACK ONE

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

     BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF

     

     

    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 WHILST NOT PERFECT IS CERTAINLY BETTER THAN MANY

    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

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

    NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

    THE FOUR CORNERS ARE RUBBED AT THE TIPS

    THE TOP EDGE IS FULLY COLOURED APART FROM THE CORNER TIPS WHICH SHOW A DOT OF RUB
    THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS SHELF RUB ALL THE WAY ALONG

    THE SPINE HAS A COUPLE OF FINGER TO THUMB IMPRESSIONS. THE TEXT IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TAPRED ENDS HAVE RUB AT THE TIPS

    THE OPENING EDGE ONLY SHOWS VERY LIGHT FEATHERING

    THE REAR SURFACE AGAIN IS FULLY TEXTURED IN SIMILAR CONDITION TO THE FRONT APART FROM SOME TAPE RESIDUE IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER

    THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EX

     

     

     

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