RARE 1970 LP - 1ST ON FLY (PRE ELECTRIC WARRIOR)

1G/1R MOTHERS AND STAMPERS

INCREDIBLE MINT MINUS AUDIO REPRODUCTION

BEST SLEEVE I HAVE SEEN ON THIS LP (NEAR MINT)

• CATALOGUE:FLY: HIFLY 2 
• MATRIX: FLY A-2U / B-1U
• MOTHERS/STAMPERS:1 G / 1 R
• REALLY EARLY FIRST PRESSING

THE FIRST BOLAN ALBUM TO BE RELEASED ON THE FLY LABEL, AND THE FIRST TO HAVE THE SHORTENED 'T.REX' NAME. BECOMING VERY HARD TO FIND IN ANY CONDITION, BUT THIS COPY HAS THE MOST AMAZING SLEEVE. AS WELL AS THE VINYL SO PLEASE READ ON.....

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION, NO STAINS OR MARKS ON THE SURFACE AND THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE FLY LOGO'S ARE UNBLEMISHED, AND THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS UNRUBBED AND CLEARLY LEGIBLE. THERE IS JUST TWO TO THREE SMALL SPIDERS LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE

THE VINYL

THIS DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE AND SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS FLAWLESS. EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE JUST A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND ONE TOTALLY SUPERFICIAL ANGEL HAIRLINE HANDLING LINE

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 AS I DO NOW WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH IMPECCABLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.EVERYTHING IS THERE, RUN INS, LINKING GROOVES ETC

THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE SHOWING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A UNWORN AND CORRECTLY WEIGHTED STYLUS

THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT AND COULDN'T BE ANY CLEARER. EVERY NOTE HEARD TO PERFECTION

THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AT ANY POINT, AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE

I HEARD NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SEMI SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC IN A COUPLE OF LINKING GROOVES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN TWO TINY STATIC TICS DURING THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL MINT MINUS

PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE AGAINST YOUR PERSONAL STANDARDS

THE SLEEVE

THIS UNLAMINATED SEMI GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS REALLY HARD TO COLLECT IN TOP CONDITION, DUE TO THE DESIGN AND FLIMSINESS OF THE CARD. MOST WILL BE VERY HEAVILY CREASED, AND THE DELICATE BROWN COLOUR WORN AWAY. RING WEAR AND RECORD SHAPE ALSO BLIGHT THIS SLEEVE, AND PROBABLY THE BIGGEST FLAW BEING THE SPINE WHICH IS OFTEN TORN, AND CRUSHED, BUT THIS COPY IS IN THE MOST INCREDIBLE CONDITION

THE FRONT SURFACE CONSISTS OF THE HALF FLAP WITH BOLAN AND FINN'S HEADS ON IT AND HALF OF THE BROWN SURFACE. SO TAKING THE PICTURE AREA FIRST, THIS HAS RETAINED 100% OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS AND IS UNBENT.THERE ARE JUST TWO NEAR INVISIBLE LINES NEXT TO THE SPINE

THE BROWN SECTION HAS RETAINED  ALL OF THE BROWN COLOUR . FOUR TINY LINES AGAINST THE RIGHT EDGE, AND A TINY LITTLE DING TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP

THE LEFT SPINE ON EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEM IS WORN ON BOTH LEADING EDGES AND FLATTENED, BUT THIS COPY HAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE FLAT AND UN-SQUASHED SPINE. VIRTUALLY NO SHELF RUB WHATSOEVER, JUST A COUPLE OF TINY WHITE FLECKS. THIS IS SERIOUSLY HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION

THE RIGHT SPINE HAS JUST A VERY LIGHT TRACE OF RUBBING TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM, AND A FEW WHITE FLECKS ELSEWHERE

THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE VIRTUALLY UNWORN, WITH THE DELICATE BROWN SURFACES SHOWING JUST A FEW TINY PIN PRICKS OF WHITE

THE OPENING EDGE HAS ONE TINY THYMB NAIL NICK IN THE MIDDLE

THE INSIDE OF THE FRONT FLAP HAS ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT AND THE INNER SPINE HAS NO TEARS TO IT WHATSOEVER

THE REAR PICTURE SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH ALL OF THE COLOURS BEING RETAINED. NO HEAVY CREASES OR CREASE LINES, AND NO FOLDS OR BENDS, AND INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE. ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE ACROSS THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

THE BROWN FLY INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT AND ONLY SHOWS ONE LIGHT CREASE LINE

VERY HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!!

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