GRADING (also refer photos)

Cover:

front: EX laminated with a stunning appearance: some handling wear including light ring-wear (mainly top & bottom—very hard to detect), NO seam splits!

back: VG++ matt finish, flipback - some handling wear including light ring-wear

Record:

VG++ visual: beautiful glossy sheen—hairlines only; audible: sounds great despite some underlying surface noise, few minor pops on side 1 (track 6), therefore VG+(+), PUNCHY AND VIBRANT MONO RECORDING ; labels: Side 1 – moderate spindle wear, Side 2 – light spindle wear.

THIS IS MY PERSONAL COPY and the only Aussie issue I have ever seen!
