Description
I just spent a couple of hours with this LP and here is the lowdown: It's been on my shelf for over forty years, I bought it used but in nice shape, played once then, and once now for recording. The cover as shown has some fading/discoloration on the back but pretty strong seams with no splits and light scuffing. BB holes on top left and right but the one on the right did not come thru the front, just a dimple. The vinyl still has great shine and plays VERY quiet. There are a few flaws but not bad: Side one has a 3 inch very light paper scuff starting half way thru track 1 that I cannot hear. There are only 2 tracks on side one and at the end of track 2 there is an area about an inch and a half by a half inch that I cannot identify, that is kind of like a smudge but does not clean off. I have played thru this area several times and cannot really identify any extra noise till the last few seconds of the fadeout and I hear it in the deadwax, but not obtrusive. Side two is very clean with only a few very light crackles. The vinyl has a very very slight warp that does not affect play. The good news here is that I have a digital studio and I specialize in vinyl restoration and remastering, and the buyer of this record will also get a copy on CD-R of this vinyl cleaned and remastered. Thanks for looking.
