    THE DEBUT ALBUM FROM YES. ORIGINALLY RELASED IN 1969, IT INCLUDES A SUPERB VERSION OF THE BEATLES 'EVERY LITTLE THING' THIS CAME FROM A STUNNING 70'S ROCK COLLECTION THAT I HAVE RECENTLY ACQUIRED

    THIS IS ALSO A VERY FIRST REPRESS WITH THE ATLANTIC LABELS HAVING NO WARNER CREDITS AT 3 O'CLOCK, AND THE MATRIX NUMBERS HAVING THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS 588 190 NUMBERS STAMPED INTO THE VINYL AS WELL AS THE K40034 NUMBERS

     

    THE RECORD

     

    THE LABELS

    THE GREEN AND ORANGE  LABELS ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. BOTH BASE COLOURS ARE IMMACULATE AND UNWORN. AND THE WHITE BAND ACROSS THE MIDDLE IS STILL PURE WHITE AND STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
     CLEARLY THIS ALBUM HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY CARED FOR AS THERE IS JUST ONE TINY SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE

    THE VINYL

    THIS VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW, AND HAS LOST NONE OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE. IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS UNMARKED AND TOTALLY FLAWLESS, AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO THE RECORD STILL LOOKS BRAND NEW AND MINT

    THE TEST PLAY


    THIS SUPERB ALBUM PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE VERY LIMITED PLAY THAT THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD AN UNWORN AND CORRECTLY TRACKED STYLUS

    THE STEREO REPRODUCTION OF THIS VINYL IS BOTH CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LOUDLY MIXED. IT IS ALSO AUDIBLY PERFECT

    FROM START TO FINISH, THIS ALBUM PLAYS  MAGNIFICENTLY. ALL OF THE SILENT BITS ARE SILENT, AND THE MUSIC PLAYS TO PERFECTION  THROUGH BOTH SIDES

    THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF BACKGROUND CRACKLE EITHER, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED

    THERE ARE ALSO NO CLICKS AT ANY POINT

    NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ZERO STATIC THROUGHOUT

    NO TICS OR POPS

    I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THE PLAYTHROUGH AS MINT!!!

    BUT PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF AGAINST YOUR OWN STANDARDS
