The Record

Near Excellent condition

Near Excellent condition on this 1970 1st Pressing 636011-1Y and 636011-2Y,

this is not mint or perfect or vault quality ,its a nice nr ex example.

a real timepiece looks great! a few light lines and stored upright in PVC jacket for many years.some lighter removal scratches, surface lines to report there are removal scuffs and lines under strong light, still a real finders dream! Side 2 has some static in intros and quite passages no jumps or sticks.
Side 1 plays really well close Excellent for this side.
with some background noise in quieter sections, could benefit from a professional clean, we don't do this its a personal thing. the overall volume of the music is easily enjoyable on the soon to be 48 year old, super shiny clean fat pre oil crisis 70s vinyl (see pics) great swirl labels...

no writing stickers or tape to report on labels.

the original "Vertigo Swirl" inner is present along with a new lined sleeve. the original swirl inner has aged and yellowed slightly but is present and in good order no tears or rips.

The Cover
Very Good Condition minus

The original 1970 *Big Bear* engineer Jim Simpson credit "Keef" cover with UK "matt finish" a great condition with ringwear to rear, no writing or tape or stickers to report. A real collectors find!
some rounding at corners and creasing see photos , spine is worn in places, the back has a historical repair to rear top (see photo) It looks really carefully done, matching black card has been "spliced" or "grafted" onto the the upper left rear cover (see photo) the minus is for the historic splice repair.

the inner gatefold is really very nice clear clean and not a lot of handling evident, truly a collectors find.
No tape or writing on the inside very clean.

any questions look at pics and ask.....

pictures in the listing are of the item for sale " what you see is what you get here"

Plays near excellent with bright clear sound and amazing bass, may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but nothing to disrupt playing no sticks or jumps on our Rega 3.

any questions please ask!
