Contact Me Fro more information.
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 see very few only surface scratches. Any other marks that could possibly be seen angled in strong light would be light whyspy surface scuffs and or sleeve removal type only. The playing surface is lovely for 49 years old.
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 loud clicks or pops during the play of this vinyl although please allow for the od light clicks or static type ticks in quieter places.. Lovely sounding copy. Audio graded at least excellent in my opinion.
The Matrix Endings:
Side 1″A#1″
Side 2″B#1″
The Labels:
These are the original 1st issue black Fontana Labels: feature “Sold In The UK….” text across the labels (only 1st press) Any spidering is minimal only can be seen angled to the light and there is little if no spindle wear the hole is perfectly round. This has obviously only had only minimal play in my opinion.
The Record Sleeve:
This is the plain white poly lined sleeve light creasing, browning, becoming fragile with age only.
The Cover:
This is the original 1st issue laminated front only flip back cover. (please note features the stereo catalogue number but the vinyl ins mono) There is general wear and tear with age light creases and a sticker removal mark at the re4ar. Slight damage to the top flipback but not too bad in my opinion.
