HAWKWIND - IN SEARCH OF SPACE

  • CATALOGUE: UNITED ARTISTS UAG 29202
  • MATRIX: 29202 A-1U / B-1U
  • GENUINE 1ST PRESSING


 

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK FIRST PRESSING WITH THE LOG BOOK INSERT

RARELY DOES THIS ALBUM SURFACE WITH A SLEEVE THAT IS IN THE MAGNIFICENT CONDITION THAT THIS ONE IS

  • THE SLEEVE

    A ABSOLUTELY STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS SUPERB SLEEVE. I HAVE NO HESITATION RIGHT FROM THE OFF IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT. IT IS REALLY THAT GOOD.

  • IT IS USUALLY FOUND WITH SEVERE COLOUR LOSS TO THE BLACK SURFACE, THE ZIG ZAG CARDBOARD IS ALSO USUALLY DAMAGED, AND WORST OF ALL THE TUCK IN FLAT IS TORN OR WORN

  • THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN SUCH SUBLIME CONDITION I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT. THE ONLY LIGHT BLEMISH IS ON THE FRONT SURFACE WHERE THERE IS A MINISCULE AMOUNT OF COLOUR LOSS ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE. HONESTLY THIS IS VERY VERY LIGHT. THE SLEEVE HAS BEEN PROTECTED FROM NEW IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE AND IS THE REASON WHY IT STILL LOOKS VIRTUALLY AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID WHEN FIRST PRESSED

  • THE FLAP FOR INSTANCE HAS BEEN STORED IN THE SLEEVE  BUT IT HASN'T BEEN TUCKED INTO THE HOLE MADE FOR IT ON THE COVER, THEREFORE IT IS TOTALLY PRISTINE AND UNBENT.

  • I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THE FLAP WAS UNTUCKED WHEN FIRST PURCHASED AND NEVER TUCKED BACK IN AGAIN EVER!!

  • I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS ONE LOOKING SO SHARP BEFORE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER CLEARLY SPENT A LOT OF TIME PROTECTING THIS DIFFICULT SLEEVE.

  • BOTH FRONT AND BACK SURFACES ARE IN TOP CONDITION. THE TOP OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND THE TWO SPINES NEAR PERFECT. OPENING THE SLEEVE UP REVEALS A PRISTINE INNER SURFACE

  • THE LOG BOOK IS IN THE SAME MAGNIFICENT CONDITION THAT THE SLEEVE IS IN. THIS IS ANOTHER ITEM THAT OFTEN WENT MISSING, BUT OF COURSE IT WAS ONLY EVER ISSUED WITH THE VERY FIRST ALBUMS OFF THE PRESS

  • I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION WHATSOEVER IN GRADING THIS INCREDIBLE SLEEVE NEAR MINT!!

  • THE RECORD

    THE ALBUM IS HOUSED IN THE CORRECT UA PLAIN PAPER INNER SLEEVE. EXAMINING THE LABELS HAS REVEALED A PRISTINE PAIR. THE BUFF COULOURED LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION, NO MARKS OR STAINES, AND THE SPINDLE HOLE SHOWS NO WEAR AT ALL. A REAL CLOSE EXAMINATION AROUND THE HOLE INDICATES THAT THE ALBUM HAS ONLY EVER BEEN PLAYED A FEW TIMES AT MOST AS THERE ARE BUT 2 SMALL SPIDER LINES.

  • THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS CLEARLY VERY CAREFULLY HANDLED AND PLAYED THIS 1972 VINYL

  • THE  DISC GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SHEEN. THERE ARE NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES

  • UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW LIGHT WISPY HAIRLINES TO BE SEEN, BUT THATS ABOUT IT

    GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO SIDE ONE THERE IS TOTAL SILENCE IN THE RUN IN GROOVE. A FURTHER SIGN THAT THE ALBUM HAS BEEN TREATED VERY WELL, HANDLED CAREFULLY AND NOT PLAYED TOO MUCH.

  • THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LP WHICH IS NOTHING MORE THAN I EXPECTED

  • THE LINKING GROOVES ARE ALSO SILENT


  • THE STEREO MIX IS JUST INCREDIBLE ON THIS ALBUM

    THIS ALBUM HAS HAD FEWER THAN 5 PLAYS LIFETIME AND IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

    A FINER COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM YOU WILL NEVER FIND

    THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT EXCELLENT PLUS

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