THE DIXIE CUPS
RIDING HIGH LP
HMV (CLP 1916) BLACK LABEL, RED LOGO
1965 1st PRESS
SLEEVE CONDITION: VG+
EDGES TOP & BOTTOM: NO SPLITS. LAMINATE INTACT. JUST A COUPLE OF TINY NICKS ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND A TINY BIT OF RUBBING TO THE CORNERS. OVERALL, VERY TIDY.
SPINE: COMPLETELY INTACT. LAMINATE INTACT. JUST ONE TINY LITTLE ROUGH PATCH OTHERWISE SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH. NO COMPRESSION AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
FRONT: JUST THE ODD LITTLE EDGE CREASE AND A LITTLE LIGHT RINGWEAR ONLY REALLY VISIBLE WHEN TILTING THE SLEEVE BACK AND FORTH IN THE LIGHT. NO SPLITS, RIPS, TEARS OR WRITING AND JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL HORIZONTAL MARKS ON LOWER PART OF SLEEVE. JUST A LITTLE LIGHT FEATHERING ON THE OPENING EDGE WITH A TINY NICK NEAR THE BOTTOM (SEE PHOTO). LAMINATE IS 100% INTACT WITH JUST A TINY BIT OF LIFTING ON THE VERY LOWER EDGE. A TIDY EXAMPLE FOR A 60 YEAR OLD SLEEVE.
REAR: THE ODD LITTLE EDGE CREASE AND ONE LIGHT CREASE ACROSS BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER. NO SPLITS, TEARS OR WRITING AND JUST A LITTLE LIGHT RINGWEAR. THERE IS A LITTLE DISCOLOURATION HERE AND THERE, MORE OBVIOUS AS THE SLEEVE IS PREDOMINANTLY WHITE. OPENING EDGE IS NICE AND STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY FEATHERING. ALL THREE FLIPBACKS ARE INTACT. OVERALL, A TIDY EXAMPLE.
INNER SLEEVE: COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE ADVERTISING HMV LPs WHICH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST A LITTLE LIGHT CREASING. NO SPLITS OR TEARS.
RECORD CONDITION:
BOTH SIDES ARE A STRONG EXCELLENT CONDITION. JUST ONE NEAR INVISIBLE ULTRA THIN SURFACE LINE AND A TINY SURFACE TRACE ON SIDE ONE, BOTH OF WHICH ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE SO I'M BEING ULTRA CRITICAL HERE. EVEN IN BRIGHT LIGHT THERE IS JUST A LIGHT SCATTERING OF WISPY SLEEVE REMOVAL TYPE LINES. IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THIS RECORD HASN'T HAD A GREAT DEAL OF USE. A REALLY LOVELY COPY. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY THAN THIS ONE.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT AND SUPER CLEAN WITH JUST A COUPLE OF ULTRA LIGHT SPINDLE TRACES ON EACH SIDE. ORIGINAL 1st PRESS BLACK LABELS WITH SILVER LETTERING AND RED HMV LOGO. HARD TO FIND LIKE THIS.
PLAYBACK IS EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL BACKGROUND NOISE. NO SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS AT ALL. ABSOLUTELY MINIMAL, IF ANY, NOISE BETWEEN TRACKS, MAYBE JUST THE ODD TINY TICK. NO POPS OR CLICKS AT ALL. PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY.
OLD 1960s LPs HARDLY EVER COME ALONG IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION. YOU WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS LP ANYWHERE.
HAS BEEN PRO CLEANED ON MY NEW HUMMINGURU ULTRASONIC CLEANER TO GIVE YOU THE BEST SOUND
A FANTASTIC UPGRADE COPY.
POSTAGE WILL BE ROYAL MAIL 24 HOUR WITH TRACKING
