 CONDITION

The Vinyl  MINT

On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks awesome I can't see even a blemish. Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! Importantly There is (no) needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!! 

UNPLAYED LOOKING CONDITION , SHOP FRESH !!!!


The Audio Quality MINT

I have played this through (PROBABLY THE FIRST EVER PLAY!!!)  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  MINT!! 

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 42 YEARS OLD!!!!! IN MY OPINION THESE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESSINGS PRODUCE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY CAN NOT BE SURPASSED BY LATER PRESSINGS!!!


The Labels:  MINT

 AMAZINGLY ONLY ONE TINY FAINT SPINDLE LINE !!! can be seen only on each side,angled in strong light.
