Play Test Results:
- Recording/pressing is extremely impressive with excellent immediacy and clarity. Sound is crisp, well defined and has excellent presence. There is no distortion, groove burn or excessive noise throughout. Both highs and lows sound equally clear and impressive.
- Side 1 is nearly flawless except for the typical errant pops and clicks that one would expect from a record of this vintage.
- The light hairline blemish on Side 2, Track 1 causes some light repetitive pops and clicks throughout the track.
- The short blemish on Side 2, Track 2 also causes some repetitive pops and clicks approximately halfway through the first half of the track.
- The remaining parts of Side 2 are comparable to Side 1. It is nearly flawless except for the typical errant pops and clicks.
- Overall, the listening experience was incredible. I ve listened to tens of thousands of records, and I can certainly see why this pressing and recording are so prized and coveted.
- Without the flaws on Tracks 1 2, this record would easily be considered NM. I have graded it at VG and priced it accordingly to accurately reflect the condition.
PLEASE NOTE:
You are bidding on an original 1950 s vinyl record. It will not have completely silent surfaces, even in mint or unmplayed condition. If you are looking for absolutely perfect blemish-free reproduction, this was not ever designed or intended to achieve that result.
