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 only. The playing surface is lovely. Visually totally unplayed in my opinion.
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 near mint in my opinion.
The Matrix:
Side 1″SHSP-4020-A-3″
Side 2″SHSP-4020-B-3″
The Labels:
These are the GREEN HARVEST Labels: No real spidering can be seen this looks unplayed in my opinion. and there is little if no spindle wear the hole is perfectly round. This has obviously only had very minimal play in my opinion.
The Record Sleeve:
This is a plain white paper record sleeve light creasing, browning, becoming fragile with age only.
The Cover:
This is the original unlaminated Garod & Lofthouse textured 1st issue cover features rounded corners (only 1st press). There is some corner bumping to mention and very light general rubbing wear with age only no splits or tears graded at least excellent in my opinion.
