The Vinyl:
This is the original thick heavier chunky slab of vinyl only found like this on the earliest pressings. On visual inspection I can’t see any needle scratches or indeed any marks that would cause any clicks or pops. Any marks that could possibly be seen angled in strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal type only.
The Audio Quality:
I have played this vinyl at very loud volume prior to this listing on a top system. The audio is cristal clear and vibrant through out no distortion or any signs of groove wear at all. I heard no clicks or pops during the play of this vinyl. Lovely sounding copy. Audio graded at least excellent plus to very near mint in my opinion.
The Matrix:
Side 1″A#1″
Side 2″B#1″
The Labels:
These are the original 1st issue Blue Horizon Labels: Any spidering can barely be seen angled to the light and there is little if no spindle wear the hole is perfectly round. This has obviously only had very minimal play in mt opinion.
The Record Sleeve:
This is the original plain white paper record sleeve light creasing, browning, becoming fragile with age only.
The Cover:
This is the original 1st issue un laminated cover. There are no real nasty creases on the front to mention this is nice and straight as it should be. no edge splits or tares. Only on very closer scutany can slight rubbing where a sticker has been removed be noticed top left on the front. The rear is clean any grubbyness is minimal light rubbing wear at the rear only really noticed if looked for in my opinion. I would grade this at least excellent in my opinion.
