HAWKWIND'S THIRD ALBUM. THIS VERY FIRST ISSUE HAS THE ULTRA RARE SPACE RATS POSTER INCLUDED. IT WAS ONLY EVER IN THE VERY FIRST BATCH OF ALBUMS PRESSED.

AN OUTSTANDING COLLECTIBLE COPY

THE RECORD

THE LABELS

THE BUFF COLOURED US LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE BROWN TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF REALLY TINY SPIDER LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE. 

THE VINYL

THE VINYL HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE, AND LOOKS SUPERB AND MARK FREE. UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE SOME VERY LIGHT AND WISPY HAIRLINES LINES TO BE SEEN

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 SO THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO FULLY HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE DECIDING TO BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THESE LP SOUNDS. THE CLARITY IS PURE FIRST PRESS

THERE IS NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE

NO HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS

THERE IS THE OCCASIONAL TINY SPECK OF LIGHT STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND HEARD ONLY IN A COUPLE OF SILENT PASSAGES

IN ADDITION SOME TINY STATIC TICS AND POPS RANDOMLY, AGAIN ONLY HEARD IN SOME OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT

THE SLEEVE

WELL THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST FRAGILE OF ALL ALBUM SLEEVES EVER. NOT ONLY WAS THIS SLEEVE MADE OF THE FLIMSIEST CARD, IT IS UNLAMINATED WITH A POWDERY BLACK SURFACE, AND TO TOP IT OFF A VERY VERY FRAGILE SILVER CHROMED FINISH TO THE MAIN DESIGN ON THE FRONT AND BACK SURFACES. THIS RESULTS IN JUST ABOUT EVERY COPY YOU WILL EVER FIND BEING COMPLETELY TRASHED.

SO STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE. THERE IS JUST A LIGHT OUTLINE OF RINGWEAR, MORE DEFINED ON THE RIGHT HALF OF THE COVER THAN THE LEFT

THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES TO THIS SURFACE EITHER, NOR ARE THERE ANY BENDS. THE TOP LEFT CORNER TIP HAS A SMALL DING

THE SILVER CHROMED DESIGN AND TEXT IS PERFECTLY INTACT.

THERE ARE ZERO PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE. THREE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, FOUR ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL SHARP AND EVIDENCE THAT THE LP HAS BARELY BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE.

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES HAVE ALL OF THE BLACK SURFACE FULLY RUNNING FROM CORNER TO CORNER, WITH JUST ONE MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP END

THE SPINE HAS ALSO RETAINED THE BLACK COLOUR FULLY WITH ONLY A PIN PRICK OF WHITE TO THE TOP TIP END. THE SILVER TYPEFACE IS ALL PRISTINE, AND THERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF TINY PRESSURE DENTS ON THE LEADING EDGES

THE REAR SURFACE IS ONLY HAS A VERY TINY BIT OF RING WEAR ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT EDGES. THE SILVER CHROME EFFECT IS PRISTINE ALL ACROSS THE COVER

THE INNER SLEEVE IS THE ORIGINAL BROWN HAWKLORDS IN BATTLE PICTURE SLEEVE. THERE IS ONE MINUSCULE HOLE IN THE BOTTOM SEAM ONLY. IT IS FLAT AND FREE FROM CREASES, AND THE THUMB NOTCH IS PRISTINE

THE VERY RARE SPACE RATS POSTER IS VERY NICE CONDITION. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF PINHOLES IN THE CORNERS SO IT HAS BEEN ON A WALL AT SOME POINT. THE FOLD LINES ARE STILL RAZOR SHARP AND THERE ARE NO SPLITS OR TEARS. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF TINY STAINS ON THE EDGES

OVERALL AND TAKING HOW DIFFICULT THIS SLEEVE IS TO FIND IN COLLECTIBLE CONDITION, I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS MAGNIFICENT SLEEVE EX++

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