Single owner since purchase.
Barely played record in flawless condition but for a blemish at beginning of side A see photo . I ve been told this sometimes results from a freshly pressed record inserted into the nylon lined sleeve prematurely. Be that as it may, this defect manifests as a very light swishing sound that is immediately and almost totally overpowered by the music.

Sleeve shows some discreet age spots across unlaminated gatefold inner, otherwise magnificent. Please inspect the photos.

GRADING METHOD
- Records are first assessed visually. Obviously scratched or otherwise poor records are discarded.
- Records are then triple washed ultrasonically, after which they are re-examined visually.
- Obviously flawless records are double checked for excellent sound and graded as such.
- Records showing hairlines, specks, scuffing, fogginess or other manifestations, no matter how minute, are examined thoroughly on our Technics SL-150 MKII, fitted with an SME 3009 Series III tonearm and Denon DL-103 MC cartridge. Results of this examination are conveyed unabashedly if they fall beyond our standard grading legend.
