IF YOU ARE LOVER OF ALL THINGS CLAPTON THEN YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION. I PASSED THIS UP WHEN IT WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED OPTING INSTEAD FOR THE HISTORY OF ERIC CLAPTON DOUBLE WHICH CAME OUT AROUND THE SAME TIME. WHAT A MISTAKE. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN INCREDIBLE DOUBLE ALBUM A FULLY EXPLORES THE MAN THAT IS ERIC CLAPTON, FORM THE BLUES THROUGH TO JUST GOOD OLD POP MUSIC THIS IS CLAPTON AT HIS VERY BEST
ONLY FIRST PRESSES CAME OUT ON THE POLYDOR LABEL. THESE ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND AS MOST COPIES YOU WILL SEE ARE THE RSO REPRESSES. HERE THEN IS THE GENUINE ARTICLE, 40 YEARS OLD AND SOUNDING SUPERB
THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGY RED POLYDOR LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, THE TYPEFACE IS UNWORN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. EVEN UNDER VERY CLOSE SCRUTINY THERE ARE JUST ONE OR TWO REALLY SMALL SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, AND THIS MEANS THAT THE LP HAS BEEN VERY VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED AND BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE.
IT'S CLEAR THAT THE RECORD HAVE HARDLY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE, AND THAT MEANS THAT THIS SUPERB 1970 DOUBLE LP SET WILL BE A VERY HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE READ ON....
THE VINYL
THE VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW . BOTH DISCS ARE IN MAGNIFICENT CONDITION, IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THEY ARE LIKE POLISHED MIRRORS, AND EVEN WHEN PUT UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN. A VERY WELL CARED FOR VINYL SET
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 EIGHT 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
THE LP'S PLAY THROUGH INCREDIBLY. THE REPRODUCTION IS PURE FIRST PRESS. THE MUSIC COMES THROUGH CLEARLY AND CRISPLY AND UNUSUALLY THE BASS BELLOWS OUT ON THE INCREDIBLE STEREO REPRODUCTION. THIS 40 YEAR OLD ALBUM REMAINS HOWEVER IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION AND PLAYS SUPERBLY WELL ALL THROUGH THE FOUR SIDES. A REAL GEM
THE ONLY NOISES I HEARD THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE 4 SIDES WAS A COUPLE OF TINY DUST POPS, SOME VERY VERY LIGHT STATIC, AND A TINY LITTLE BIT OF VINYL NOISE IN SOME RANDOM QUIET SPOTS, BUT LISTEN TO THE 8 RECORDINGS AS THIS REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE ALBUM.
A REAL FIND THIS POLYDOR 1ST PRESS, AND IN A SUPERB HIGH GRADE COLLECTIBLE CONDITION
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL NEAR MINT
THE SLEEVE
FIRST ISSUE MACNEILL UNLAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
THE FRONT SURFACE HAS NO HEAVY CREASES JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY VISIBLE THIN CREASE LINES, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS OR DINGS. . THE COLOURS HAVE ALL BEEEN RETAINED AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RUBBING. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED IN AN OUTER PLASTIC SLEEVE VIRTUALLY ALL OF ITS LIFE AND HAS KEPT THIS DELICATE SLEEVE FROM AMY HARM
THE TOP EDGE IS TOTALLY UNRUBBED AND FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, WHILST THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS THE MOST MINIMAL SPECKS OF WEAR
THE SPINE IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, JUST THE LIGHTEST SCUFF TO THE VERY BOTTOM TIP
THE OPENING EDGES ARE VERY SHARP AND SHOW JUST HOW LITTLE THIS SET OF LP'S HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE COVER. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY THUMB NAIL NICKS ON EACH EDGE
THE REAR SURFACE ALSO HAS NO CREASES ETC, BUT DOES HAVE THE BAREST TRACE OF RECORD SHAPE, OTHERWISE ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOUR HAS BEEN PRESERVED
THE TWO POLY LINED INNER SLEEVES ARE BOTH UNSPLIT AND VERY FLAT,
THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES EXCELLENT PLUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
