Description
SUPER RARE. CLEANED ON A SPIN CLEAN AND PLAY GRADED. SHINY AND UNIFORM . VERY WELL RECORDED. VERY QUIET. 95% OF THE RECORD PLAYS NEAR MINT. HOWEVER THERE IS A WARP ALONG THE BEGINNING EDGE. FORTUNATELY IT PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO SKIPS. I HAVE A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CARTRIDGE SET AT ABOUT 2 GRAMS YET IT TRACKS WELL. ON SIDE ONE YOU CAN HEAR THE WARP ONCE PER REVOLUTION AS YOU WATCH THE CARTRIDGE RISE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF, THEN IT PLAYS FINE FOR THE REMAINDER WITH ONLY ONE OR TWO TICS. SIDE TWO IS MUCH LESS AFFECTED BY THE WARP. THERE ARE TICS FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE, BUT VERY MILD. MID RECORD THERE A FEW TICS WATCHING THE TONEARM LIKE I DID, ONE IS AMAZED THE SOUND IS NOT MORE DISTORTED. THERE ARE SHORT STRETCHES WHERE THERE APPEARS TO BE A SPEED CHANGE BUT KEROUAC ALSO KIND OF SCRUNCHES UP HIS VOICE IN SOME SECTIONS.. SINCE THIS IS SPOKEN WORD THE DEFECTS ARE REALLY NOT MUCH OF A DISTRACTION TO ME. THE PIANO PLAYING SEEMS FINE. ON MOST RECORDS THE VISUAL INSPECTION WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO REJECT A RECORD LIKE THIS. THIS RECORD IS JUST TOO COOL TO DISCARD. I THINK I PRICED IT APPROPRIATELY. ALSO I WILL OFFER 14 DAY RIGHT OF RETURN. IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT THIS RECORD FOR. THE COVER IS CLEAN IN FRONT BUT FADED. THE BACK HAS SOME DISCOLORATION. CHECK PHOTOS PLEASE. THERE IS A SPLIT 1/3 OF THE WAY IN FROM THE RIGHT SIDE.
