NOTES
Up for auction here, number #3 of our Pepper-first press records listings from today, a true collector's rarity, namely the Brazilian MONO first press. Protected by a cellophane-coated cover, as almost every 1960s-pressing from Brazil, it may look a lill odd. (Please see remarks on condition later in this listing.)
Being in an overall excellent condition, this record, a first of only three MONO pressings, is a credit to "herself". To our knowledge, Brazilian Odeon deleted the mono release in the Mid-1970s, after publishing the last one on Golden Odeon in 1972. Be that as it may, this first press is definitely the last one released on the White Odeon TOP Label.

1st Class Packaging
We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer, which is then being properly sealed with water-resistant tape.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.) Record Grading
Visual Grading Cover Front EX Cover Back EX Cover Inside EX Inner Sleeve(s) [N/A]
(plain) Label Side A EX- Label Side B VG Vinyl Side A EX Vinyl Side B EX+ Audio Grading Side A EX Side B EX We use superb vinyl equipment with its heart being an Ortofan Diamond System and gold plated contacts all around.
Audible checks are performed with a Pro-Ject Audio system connected to a DENON PMA 520-AE amplifier, with a Sennheiser 350 headset. Remarks As for the Cover and related issues, please refer to pictures provided right after.
Like virtually all Brazilian pressings from the Sixties, the cellophane coated cover, at first glance, looks a lill dirty, chabby. However, this creates a false impression. The cover is fine, it simply can't come up with that "common" glossy view we're used to from luminated card board covers. In countries like Brazil, with a high humidity and constantly hot weather, this type of "packaging" is actually the right approach and best to protect the vinyl that sits inside.
Label of Side B shows some stains, spots, still no writings or suffs, which is why we've downgraded it to VG. Please see photos.
Vinyl is shiny.
Regarding audio, record plays perfectly thru no jumps, or skips. Straight, powerful MONO sound. A clear EX.
Please keep in mind that an opinion is bound to be subjective. Refer to pictures, provided extensively.
