CONDITION

The Vinyl

 EXCELLENT ++

On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks SUPERB, LOVELY, GLOSSY AND MIRROR LIKE SHINE I can only see ONLY ONE FEINT HAIRLINE ON SIDE 1 LAST TWO TRACKS, EVEN UNDER A STRONG LIGHT !!!

THIS ONE DIFFICULT TO SEE HAIRLINE MARK HAD ABSOLUTELY ZERO EFFECT DURING MY TEST PLAY, SUPERB AUDIO EXPERIENCE !!!

Any marks that could possibly be seen under a stronger light would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve!

 Importantly There is definitely NO needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!!

A STUNNING example of this RARE MONO FIRST EVER ORIGINAL PRESS from 10Th JULY  1964. SUPERB !!!

IN MY OPINION IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO BETTER THIS VINYL , AMAZING AFTER OVER HALF A CENTURY !!!


The Audio Quality NEAR MINT

I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system,  the audio is awesome! 

Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with NO distortion or any signs of groove wear at all  !!!! 

Certainly NO clicks pops or jumps!!  As good as it gets in my opinion !! 

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES! 

GRADED AS NEAR MINT!! 

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 56 YEARS OLD !!!!! 


The Labels:  NEAR MINT

These are super ! Bright and clean ONLY A COUPLE OF FEINT SPINDLE LINES can be seen, angled in strong light but concentrated around the centre hole only.

Confirming this has definitely been played SPARINGLY since 1964 !!!!

Please note! i am highly critical about the audio quality on my records as it is my prime interest above rarity

This plays awesome you will not be disappointed.
