The Vinyl
This is the original heavier and deeper grooved type of vinyl! On visual inspection this looks like new I find it hard to see a blemish on the playing surface. There are no needle scratches or any marks that would cause any loud constant clicks or pops. This looks in my opinion almost as unplayed condition! ( I can’t see any spider marks around the spindle hole) Unbeleivabl for 47 years old!
The Audio Quality
In breif, this audio was as stunning throughout. Superb audio seperation, Rich bassey feel only found like this on the earliest pressings with the earliest stampers! Please Note, Please allow for isolated static/crackle/ticks that may be heard in isolated quieter places may be heard on some sensitive systems This audio can not be surpassed on any other format in my personal opinion for vibrancy! This audio is graded at excellent plus to very near near mint in my opinion!
Please note! I always add this disclaimer! Please allow for the odd static/ticks (not consistant throughout the audio) In my opinion this will produce the very top audio throughout! LOOKS AND SOUNDS BARELY EVER PLAYED AT ALL!
The labels
These feature the original (1st UK issue) Black ‘MCA’ labels(only early press) in awesome condition AMAIZINGLY (no) spider marks can be seen! (no) spindle ware the hole is perfectly round!
The cover
This is the original ”Robert Stace” Unlaminated gatefold cover! with no splits or tares NO splits or tares. No real main creases to talk of just very minor half moon type that are only noticable if scrutinised and amaizingly (no) nasty storage ware to the corners at all. Please note It is hard to see any real rubbing to this covers edges, any there is is very minimal. Strong and straight! I would grade this at least excellent to Excellent plus!
The record sleeve
The original poly lined sleeve has just very few creasings no splits or tares and is stored seperately from the vinyl.
