GO CHAMPS GO LP
LONDON (HA-H 2152) PLUM LABEL
1959 1st PRESS
SLEEVE CONDITION: VG+
EDGES TOP & BOTTOM: NO SPLITS OR SHELFWEAR. LAMINATE INTACT WITH NO NICKS OR CRACKS. SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH. OVERALL, VERY TIDY.
SPINE: COMPLETELY INTACT. LAMINATE INTACT. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY NICKS IN THE LAMINATE OTHERWISE SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH. SLIGHT RUBBING TO THE EXTREME ENDS. NO TEXT AS THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1st PRESS THIN SPINE SLEEVE.
FRONT: JUST THE ODD LITTLE EDGE CREASE. ONE SMALL CREASE NEAR TOP EDGE AND A LITTLE VERY LIGHT RINGWEAR ONLY REALLY VISIBLE WHEN TILTING THE SLEEVE BACK AND FORTH IN THE LIGHT. NO SPLITS, RIPS, TEARS OR WRITING. BARELY ANY FEATHERING ON THE OPENING EDGE. LAMINATE IS 100% INTACT WITH JUST THE TINIEST BIT OF LIFTING ON THE VERY LOWER EDGE. A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE FOR A 65+ YEAR OLD SLEEVE.
REAR: EARLIEST PRESS SLEEVE WITH SEMI CIRCULAR CUT OUTS IN THE FLIPBACKS. SLEEVE IS MARKED 4/59 WHICH IS ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THIS RECORD WAS RELEASED SO REALLY IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST YOU WILL FIND. NO OBVIOUS CREASES AT ALL AND JUST THE FAINTEST HINT OF RINGWEAR. NO SPLITS, RIPS, OR TEARS. NAME WRITTEN ON TOP FLIPBACK ALONG WITH SMALL PRICE STICKER, BOTH OF WHICH MAY BE REMOVABLE. THERE IS A LITTLE DISCOLOURATION ON THE FLIPBACKS AND DOWN THE RIGHT HAND EDGE WHERE THE LAMINATE FOLDS OVER FROM THE FRONT BUT THE REST OF THE SLEEVE, WHICH IS PREDOMINANTLY WHITE, IS VERY TIDY. OPENING EDGE IS NICE AND STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY FEATHERING. OVERALL, A VERY TIDY EXAMPLE.
INNER SLEEVE: COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE WITH JUST A LITTLE LIGHT CREASING. NO SPLITS OR TEARS.
RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD ARE A STRONG EXCELLENT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY SMALL, SUPER LIGHT SURFACE TRACES ON EITHER SIDE ONLY REALLY VISIBLE WHEN TILTING THE RECORD BACK AND FORTH IN THE LIGHT. NO SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR OTHER MARKS WHATSOEVER. EVEN IN BRIGHT LIGHT THERE IS NOTHING TO BE SEEN EXCEPT JUST THE LIGHTESET SCATTERING OF TINY SLEEVE REMOVAL TYPE LINES. HAS BEEN HANDLED AND TREATED WITH CARE.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT AND SUPER CLEAN WITH JUST A VERY FEW ULTRA LIGHT SPINDLE TRACES ON EACH SIDE. ORIGINAL 1st PRESS PLUM LABELS WITH SILVER LETTERING. THESE ARE THE EARLIEST, SLIGHTLY TEXTURED LABELS WITH THE 'GROOVE' PRESSED INTO THE LABEL AT THE EXTREME EDGE.
PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL BACKGROUND NOISE. NO SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS AT ALL. BARELY ANY NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS AND NO POPS OR CLICKS AT ALL. PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY.
OLD 1950s LPs HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION AND YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS LP. THIS RECORD HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED IN ANY WAY, APART FROM A GENTLE WIPE TO REMOVE DUST ETC. AS I ALWAYS LEAVE THAT UP TO THE BUYER
A GREAT CHANCE TO UPGRADE.
POSTAGE WILL BE ROYAL MAIL 24 HOUR WITH TRACKING
