VINYL: GOOD - labels: clean, mild spindle marks can be seen under intense light, with a little wear around the spindle hole- vinyl: vinyl has been professionally machine cleaned, it is flat, listened all the way through, visually looks VERY GOOD, the vinyl has a cared for appearance although it has been played many times, it plays with mild crackle throughout, in some passages of play this can intensify- please note: there is an issue with side.1 track.6 as there is a spiral scratch which manifests itself initially as a 'thump' [played on my Linn LP12 turntable /Rega RB300 arm /Supex SM5 cartridge] & continues to play through the remaining grooves - however on other equipment this will/may possibly jump & skate across most of the remaining grooves to the run-off area
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
- clean, no writing, sticker damage or splits, the sleeve is absolutely superb for it's near 50 years, clean, the spine is strong in structure & clarity, it is practically faultless
OVERALL COMMENTS: for me this is the only
example I have ever seen & it has been well cared for with the one
previous owner from new although it has been played frequently in
it's history which does have a bearing on how it plays, however it could
still be seen by many collectors as the ultimate upgrade:
