THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
ORANGE AND BLACK DAWN LABELS IN PRISTINE CONDITION. NO MARKS OR STAINS ANYWHERE. THE COLOUR IS RICH AND VIBRANT. THE BASE ORANGE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHERE THERE IS JUST ONE SMALL SPIDER LINE VERY CLOSE TO THE HOLE SHOWING EXACTLY HOW MANY PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED. IT JUST HASN'T BEEN PLAYED WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT IT IS 47 YEARS OLD
THE VINYL
A STUNNING VINYL IN SUPERB CONDITION. IT GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY A FEW WISPY SLEEVE WITHDRAWAL HAIRLINES 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, AS I NOW DO WITH ALL MY LISTINGS, AS I AM CONVINCED THAT BIDDERS WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HEAR THE RECORD BEFORE LAYING A BID. THIS IS A SERVICE I AM DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER MY CUSTOMERS
DAWN WAS THE PROGRESSIVE SUBSIDIARY OF PYE RECORDS, AND WAS USED TO PROMOTE ALL OF THOSE WEIRD AND OBSCURE PROGRESSIVE BANDS OF THE VERY EARLY SEVENTIES. DONOVAN ONLY RELEASED 2 ALBUMS ON THIS LABEL IN 1970 AND 1971
THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THE VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER MEANING THAT THE PLAY THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
THE VOCAL CLARITY IS JUST SUPERB. CLEAR AND CRISP, AND PERFORMED THROUGH A SUPERB STEREO REPRODUCTION
THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR WORK IS ALSO REPRODUCED MAGNIFICENTLY.
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLING WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER
PYE RECORDINGS LIKE ISLAND HEAVY VINYL PRESSINGS OFTEN HAD EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE IN THE DISC. THIS ONE HAS ABSOLUTELY NONE WHATSOEVER
NO STATIC EITHER AND THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT
I HEARD NO MORE THAN ONE TINY DUST POP THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH
I AM VERY PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT
ANYWAY PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AND JUDGE IT AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
THE SLEEVE
GENUINE 1ST PRESS TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE.
STARTING WITH THE FRONT SURFACE, THE FIRST AND MOST OBVIOUS THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE ARE NO HEAVY CREASES AND CREASE LINES. THE WHITE TEXTURED FINISH IS STILL IN SUPERB BRILLIANT WHITE CONDITION AND ONLY SHOWS A COUPLE OF SPECKS VERY LIGHT HANDLING
THE FRONT SURFACE IS VERY FLAT AND CLEAN. AND ALL OF THE LETTERING HAS THE ORIGINAL PINK AND GREEN COLOURS AND HAVE NO BEEN SUBJECTED TO ANY RUBBING. NO WHITE SPOTS WHATSOEVER
THERE IS ONE TINY PRESSURE LINE CLOSE TO THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE UNWORN WITH ALL OF THE TEXTURED WHITE RUNNING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SURFACE, AND ONLY THE RIGHT TIP ENDS SHOW A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE SPINE ON THIS SLEEVE IS AT BEST USUALLY FOUND WITH SHELF WEAR AND WORN TYPEFACE, BUT HERE IS AN UN-SQUASHED AND UNWORN EXAMPLE, AND EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. NOT ONE SPECK OF COLOUR MISSING, THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIPS HAVE A PIN PRICK OF RUB
THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS AS CLEAN AS THE FRONT SURFACE , AGAIN ALL OF THE COLOURS UNRUBBED, AND NO CREASE LINES OF ANY DESCRIPTION,
INCREDIBLY NO RING WEAR, JUST A JOT OF RECORD SHAPE
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SURFACE ON BOTH SIDES.
THE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN UNSPLIT CONDITION, A COUPLE OF LIGHT WRINKLES AND SOME AGEING TO THE EDGES
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
THE 3D GLASSES ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. NO DAMAGE TO THE CARD WHATSOEVER
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
