HIGH TIDE - SEA SHANTIES

SUPERB EX+ / NEAR MINT PLAYTHROUGH

EX SLEEVE 


FULLY PLAY TESTED PRIOR TO LISTING

THIS ALBUM WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN 1969 ON THE BLUE LIBERTY LABEL AND REISSUED IN 1984 ON THE PSYCHO LABEL

THE BAND FEATURED EX HAWKWIND BAND MEMBER SIMON HOUSE


THE  LABELS


THE PURPLE LABELS ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION.

UNBLEMISHED COLOURS THAT FULLY STRETCH INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE

THERE ARE 2-3 SMALL SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLE


THE VINYL STILL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT APPEARS FLAWLESS

UNDER SPOTLIGHTS THERE ARE A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES

VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE


THE REORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH BOTH SIDES

NO DISTORTION, THUS NO GROOVE WEAR

THE STEREO SOUND IS CLEAN AND CRISPY

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AT ANY POINT ON EITHER SIDE

IF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE AND LOVE PSYCHEDELIC ROCK THEN THIS IS A MUST HAVE

ANY LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IS MINIMAL AND ONLY AUDIBLE IN SOME OF THE MORE SILENT PASSAGES OF WHICH THERE ARE NOT MANY

A FEW TINY LITTLE STATIC LIKE TICS HERE AND THERE AND A LITTLE BACKGROUND IN THE RUN IN TO SIDE ONE

SIDE TWO PLAYS TO NEAR PERFECTION

OVERALL A GREAT CLEAN SOUND AND ONE THAT I AM HAPPY TO GRADE AS EX+ / NEAR MINT 

THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE HAS PERFECT UNRUBBED COLOURS ON THE CENTRE IMAGE

THE WHITE AREA SHOWS A LITTLE RING WEAR AND SOME HANDLING TO THE EDGES

THERE ARE FOUR OR FIVE SMALL PRESSURE LINES ON EACH OF THE SEALED EDGES

THE TOP EDGE HAS A SPECK OF RUB ONLY TO THE CORNER TIPS

THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SIMILAR

THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT . THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE TOP AND BOTTOM ENDS HAVE A LITTLE RUB

THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP ALL THE WAY ALONG AND SHOWS WHY THE LP HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE

THE REAR SURFACE IS SIMILAR TO THE FRONT

THE PLAIN WHITE  INNER IS IN FLAT AND 100% UNSPLIT. SOME AGEING TO THE EDGES


I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS  SLEEVE EX
