Description
A beautiful clean record, with a nice sheen / gloss.
A nice quiet background and a strong first issue sound.
A rare combination, as this Stereo Issue has been released in the Original Mono sleeve, with A-96 Mono Impulse stickers, but has had STEREO stickers placed on both front and rear to identify the record inside is an AS-96 Stereo pressing.
I can only guess this is most likely a very early stereo issue, released prior to the Stereo sleeves being printed - or they ran out of Stereo sleeves, and used Mono ones with stickers for a short while, but my money would be on the first.
No skips, jumps or any other disturbances.
A really nice wide spine, heavy card cover in Near Mint condition.
Lovely labels, see the pics.
The entire package is in remarkable "like new" condition, and the record plays like new.
* The pictures are mostly taken in ambient light, with the flash OFF, as I find that the flash light alters some colours, and gives a misleading and wet looking image of the vinyl... I DO take one picture of each side with the flash on and with one with the flash off - so you can see the difference, rather than the deception.
(M) MINT: The piece it is describing is Sealed or undamaged in any way. unquestionably perfect.
(This classification is often overused by deceptive sellers. Here it is reserved for perfect unsealed items, and the contents of undamaged sealed records, - it must be beyond doubt - "as new") - Rarely, if ever used by me... it is too subjective and open for dispute.
(NM) NEAR MINT. The piece it is describing is unsealed, but shows no sign of deterioration and looks as it was when it was new.
(EX) EXCELLENT ( or VG+) The piece it is describing shows some slight signs of deterioration, use or slight wear.
(VG) VERY GOOD: The piece it is describing has obviously been used, but has been well looked after, displays no significant deterioration, just normal wear.
(G) GOOD: The piece it is describing has been used so much that it has noticeably deteriorated, but with only minor blemishes.
Good is not bad - Good is still Good, - I do not sell below this playback grade unless the label is in high demand and in short supply.
(F) FAIR: The piece it is describing is still usable but has not been cared for properly and displays obvious signs of deterioration.
(P) POOR: The piece it is describing will function properly, but shows signs of significant damage or deterioration.
(B) BAD: The piece it is describing is unusable, missing or damaged beyond repair and does not function as intended.
