Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which when viewed in strong daylight display just a few faint inner-sleeve removal marks but certainly no scuffs, marks or scratches of any kind. Close & careful inspection directly beneath halogen desk lamp reveals absolutely nothing more than a healthy sparking rainbow gloss without any further marks or wear anywhere. this 1st-class copy lies 100% flat on the turntable with no traces of dishing or warping either side.
Play: NEAR MINT
Outstanding sound quality throughout this cherished early copy. My careful play-check at volume could find no evidence of any groove/play wear distortion on any track or indeed any background noise/crackle. Both run-ins and all bands play without any trace of interference and there are no clicks, pops, tics or indeed any audible blemishes anywhere. Tough to find a better sounding copy of this pressing.
