Please see above for images of the actual record for sale Playing surfaces The flat well centered playing surfaces under bright magnified light display a nice luster.
The Deroy labels were poorly applied in the factory and as suck show some wrinkling all copies suffer from this See popsike.
Played only for grading purposes the sound of this MONO pressing is interesting.
The Hobbit would have submitted their Tape to Deroy for the 99 copies to be pressed.
It sounds like the recording was made in a large hall or church, as with so many private pressings the recording itself is raw and basic.
This comes across on the pressing which in itself was far from Audiophile why would it be it was pressed for friends and family and with the least amount of proficiency which lends to it s charm and allure.
The playing surfaces do feature some paper scuffs and a few short scratches which cause light clicks in the sparse sound.
No Jumps or major difficulties .
