    • This very scarce Private Press was issued and limited to just 500 copies, therefore finding one is very hard . This one is numbered on the back of the sleeve #389/500

    This album just doesn't come up very often and even then not in the sublime condition that this one is offered in

  • THE ARK OF THE COVENANT - THE ARK OF THE COVENANT

    SUPERB NEAR MINT AUDIO FROM START TO FINISH

    NEAR MINT SLEEVE



    THE RECORD

     

    THE LABELS

    THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. 

    THE  BASE COLOUR IS UNRUBBED .THE COLOURS RUN UNINTERRUPTED INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE, WHICH HAS NO SPIDER LINES BY IT 

    THE VINYL

    THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC LOOKS SUPERB. IT HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. 

    IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY MINT

    UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO SIDE ONE HAS SOME SMALL DULL EMBEDDED FLECKS ON THE SURFACE WHICH HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND. SIDE TWO IS TOTALLY PERFECT


    THE TEST PLAY

    THIS ALBUM HAS JUST NOT BEEN PLAYED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES

    THIS 1ST PRESS ALBUM PLAYS MAGNIFICENTLY. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. 

    THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND SHARP AS IT POSSIBLE COULD BE. 


    THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

    NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT.

    ALL I HEARD THROUGH THE ENTIRE LP WERE 3-4 TINY LITTLE TICS
    INCREDIBLE AUDIO THROUGH ALL OF THE TRACKS

    PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN AND YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THE QUALITY OF THIS SUPERB DISC

    I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS AUDIO NEAR MINT 

     

     

     

    THE SLEEVE

    NON LAMINATED GLOSSY SINGLE SLEEVE



    THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN, NO MARKS OR STAINS.

    THERE ARE NO PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE , TWO ALONG THE TOP EDGE. NONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE

     THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE, WITH A DOT OF RUB TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP 

    NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

    THE TOP EDGE HAS A TINY SCUFF ON THE LEFT HALF, AND A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END

    THE BOTTOM EDGE HAS A COUPLE OF DOTS OF WHITE SHOWING  ON THE RIGHT HALF AND LIKE THE TOP THERE IS JUST A PIN PRICK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT TIP END

    THE SPINE HAS A FEW DIMPLES ON THE SURFACE, BUT NO SHELF WEAR. THE TYPEFACE IS PRISTINE, THE COLOUR STILL PERFECTLY WHITE AND THE ENDS REMAIN UNBLEMISHED

    THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP

    THE REAR SURFACE IS IN SUPERB CONDITION. THE LIMITED EDITION NUMBER SITS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER


    THE DIE CUT INNER SLEEVE HAS NO SEAM SPLITS 



    I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE  NEAR MINT
