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 anglerd in strong light would be light whyspy sleeve removal type scuffs only. The playing surface is lovely.
The Audio Quality:
I have played this vinyl at very loud volume prior to this listing on a top system. Importantly using a dedicated mono cartridge. 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 very near mint in my opinion.
The Matrix:
Side 1″DJLPH 423 A-2″ (BOBIL” HAND ETCHED)
Side 2″DJLPH 423 B-2″(RASPUTIN” HAND ETCHED)
(Master Pressers signature Hand etched both sides on the run off grooves)
The Labels:
These are the original 1st issue black DJI Labels: (correct for this early pressing) Barely a handful of real spidering can be seen angled to the light and there is little if no spindle wear the hole is perfectly round.
The Record Sleeve:
This is the original plain white record sleeve light creasing, browning, becoming fragile with age only. The vinyl is now always stored seperately from the vinyl.
The Cover:
This is the original unlaminated textured gatefold cover lovely condition any rubbing is very light and you have to look for it to notice any. No splits or tears. Original image photo stuck on the front (only 1st press) Please note 212 vis written at the rear top corner. Graded at least excellent to excellent plus .
Summery:
A nice classic original 1st UK pressing nice copy free of nasty scratches. Becoming very collectable.
