Description
Owned by myself since new and like new throughout....
Ltd number 173 of 500 total copies
Remains in factory shrink with the numbered hype sticker.
The vinyl appears pristine initially but does seem to have alot of little squiggly hairlines on close inspection possibly owing to the stock paper only inner which i have long since disposed of. For this reason i gave the record a Degritter wash and have playtested it (its one and only ever play) and im glad to report its near perfect throughout, mostly silent and far better than many a GZ Media pressing!! While none of these light surface marks seem to impact playback, the caveat is the second half of Sucka N* does have some rotational non fill sounds and i heard some tics during the brief skit before Keep It Rollin on side 2. Also this recording has many samples with vinyl crackle and pops from said samples and they are as present here as on any other true version. Please bare in mind ive used an AT microline to test this which sits deep in the groove and is as good as you can get for avoiding upper groove wear and imperfections. Its entirely possible a simple bonded conical or elliptical will present different levels of noise. YMMV essentially but hopefully it will play as well for you as it did me today!
The jacket is as new. The stock paper inner was replaced with a superior poly lined jobby yrs ago. The picture shows a white inner sleeve as well but this isnt included and is only there to show off the deep rich green colour of the vinyl for this listing.
A fantastic copy overall, thanks for looking!
