Play grade:
Side 1
Track 1 - Spoken intro is clear. Music starts and it sounds just fine. Some pops and clicks appear but disappear just as quickly. About 2:50 you can hear pops, nothing too pronounced, but they are there. Then they disappear as the bass part plays. Sounds great after this, no noise/fuzz/clicks heard. Fantastic all the way to the end.
Track 2 - Pops heard slightly at beginning behind piano intro, nothing consistent. It is subtle, way behind the music. It does disappear, and the piano parts play nicely without any distractions. One loud pop around 7:14 into the side. Clean through to the end.
Track 3 - Nice start to the song. Sporadic pops here. Again, way behind the music. As it picks up, it plays very nicely. Bass part playing, some light crackles can be heard. Plays nicely to the end.
Track 4 - Great track, plays nicely. No noise behind the quick rhythm. It continues just as nicely. Breaks down to bass part and it s clean and clear with no background noise save for a random pop. Ends nicely.
Track 5 - Gorgeous track. As the tempo picks up, you can hear some pops, very subtle. It improves and the music is strong, way ahead of any background noise you may hear.
Side A Grade: EX....a stellar side of music with minimal noise. Conservative grade here.
Side 2
Track 1 - Can hear crackles, some pops right at the beginning. Track gets better as it plays. Still some pops can be heard. These stay consistent through the track, but not overpowering. Bass part comes, and louder pops can be heard. 2:50 mark in the song you can hear some noise. It continues through to the end.
Track 2 - Same cadence of background noise can be heard at the beginning of this track. It does clear up about a minute in. It comes back slightly, not overpowering, but it s there. Behind the bass part it can be heard sporadically.
Track 3 - Crackles at the beginning of the song. Gets better towards middle of the song. It s there, however. Way better towards the last third of the song.
Track 4 - Upbeat beginning part of the song is strong, very clear. Some loud pops heard about halfway through. No skips. Bass part here has some background noise, goes away shortly. Strong ending.
Track 5 - Strong start to the song. Nothing overpowering, but there is some light noise. Disappears after about a minute. Gets very strong here, very clean, clear. Prominent bass towards end is nice, with minimal noise and this noise goes away as the song carries on. Drum fill drops are clean. Clean ending.
Side B vinyl grade: VG-VG-
Overall grade VG to EX....side 2 brings it down. A stellar side 1 however. We are being conservative here.
