Label : Status

Original mono 1st pressing (« van gelder » stamped on both sides)
RECORD GRADING (see photos) :
This is a 1st press original copy in very nice condition !
Cover : EXC (VG+)
Please note that it is very hard to find a NM cover regarding this LP.
--- Front is EXC (VG+) : very nice overall (just a slight ring wear).
--- Back is EXC+ (VG++) : superb condition (just a small stamp top right and a small pencil green mark bottom right).
--- Slices are EXC- (VG) : some wear signs (NO slices split, even partially).
--- Corners are EXC- (VG) : some wear signs.
--- Original inner sleeve : Yes
Audio : EXC+ (VG++)
The sound is impressive !
NO tics ; NO clicks ; NO skips.
Should be graded NM but PLEASE NOTE there is a constant slight surface noise (on both sides) due to the pressing of the LP (NOT due to the using). As often happens with this label.
Visual : EXC+ (VG++)
The vinyl is visually in very nice condition !
Looks barely played. Maybe once or two, not much more.
NO scratches ; NO hairlines ; NO paper sleeve marks.
The vinyl is actually NM but graded EXC+ because there are some slight superficial surface lines, on Side 2, due to the pressing of the LP (NOT due to the using) : very very softly feelable and absolutely NO impact on the Audio quality !
Label : Super clean !
Unplayed condition.
See the grading policy in the store pages.
All records are carefully inspected and listened before grading. So you can buy with confidence.
