Description
Very nice copy of the initial stereo release. Jacket has the first run misprint with the tracks on side 2 listed in reverse (All Blues/Flamenco Sketches) and is EX with very minimal shelfwear, no splits, no marks, and a clear spine title. Vinyl is very nice, super glossy, and with only one real notable visual blemish -- a diagonal light superficial scuff on side 1. Otherwise there are only some small, extremely line scuffs/marks which are really only visible at specific angles under directed light. Labels are very clean showing very minimal play. I've cleaned this is a VPI machine and played is fully (it is from my personal collection and I'm just slimming down); sound is clear and rich, there is some surface nose present intermittently for most of the album, but really only interferes with listing if you've got this blasting at very high volumes. The side 1 scuff doesn't seem to cause any disruption of its own on my system, sound is pretty uniform. This is not a silent copy, though, and if you need NM this is not for you. An outstanding play copy though, far better than 90% of what you see here or on other sites for a first stereo press.
Matrixes are: Side 1: XSM47326-1AG Side 2: XSM47327-1AJ
