Quite rare in this issue.These early mono records can have very fine sound, but they will sound their best and have the least surface noise when played with a true mono cartridge.
If it is noted that this record has been play-graded, then it means that I have tested it using a mono cartridge.
The description will reflect those results.
Records are graded visually unless stated otherwise in the listing.
