John Mayall: A hard road DECCA SKL 4853 UK
Hard to find ( shall I say "impossible" ??) original FIRST STEREO pressing on the UNBOXED GROOVED DECCA label in GREAT condition
cover: original front-laminated single -sleeve cover, superb clean MINT- condition with small amount of lamination lifting along the spine,otherwise as NEW …the backside is AS WHITE as it can be,NO gubbiness AT ALL which is almost unheard of …opening edges are straight and sharp,hardly any sign of use ..spine is nice,unflattened and square with ALL the text perfectly clear and readable…no rips,tears,splits or any other damages....
record,visual: superb clean,between EX++ and MINT- with VERY LIGHT hairlines – these have NO affect on the audio at all …it still retains its beautiful original sheen and looks VERY NEAR NEW
record,audio: THE AUDIO IS GREAT WITH CRYSTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT SOUND WITHOUT ANY SINGS OF GROOVEWEAR,WITH GREAT DELIVERY AND STEREO IMAGE… NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS, NO BACKGROUND NOISE OF ANY KIND AT ALL – EXCEPTIONAL PLAYING COPY !
labels: superb clean and nice with few very light and small spindle hole marks…ZAL 7652-1W and ZAL 7653-1W machine stamped matrix numbers,very first stereo pressing ever… ..no tears,stamps,writings or any other damages...
Gradings: I ALWAYS TRY TO DO MY BEST IN GIVING ACCURATE,HONEST AND VERY STRICT GRADINGS BY USING THE FOLLOWING TERMS:
MINT
EX (EXCELLENT)
VG ( VERY GOOD)
I ALSO USE PLUS (+) AND MINUS (-) IF THE CONDITION FALLS BETWEEN TWO GRADES.
VINYL WILL FIRST BE INSPECTED VISUALLY VERY CAREFULLY UNDER STRONG LIGHT..I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PLAY EVERY SINGLE RECORD FROM START TO END ( WHO DOES ? ) - HOWEVER,I TESTPLAY SKIPPING THROUGH TRACKS ON BOTH SIDES ( INCLUDING RUN-IN,RUN-OUT GROOVES AND THE SPACES BETWEEN TRACKS ) TO CHECK THE OVERALL PLAYBACK QUALITY.

PLEASE NOTE:ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T HEAR ANY SERIOUS PROBLEMS DURING THE TESTPLAY ON MY SYSTEM AND HAVE GIVEN AN HONEST DESCRIPTION OF THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL,I CAN’T GUARANTEE IT WILL PLAY THE SAME WAY ON YOUR SYSTEM -YOU MIGHT HEAR THE ODD STATICK TICK/POP THAT I DIDN’T !!!
