Label: NM
The label is in almost perfect condition both Side 1 & Side 2
Vinyl: Side 1 EX - / Side 2 EX -
Side 1: Other than a small superficial scratch of about 6mm, visually the record shows little signs of being played. Audibly the sound quality is excellent. Although the scratch is on the playing surface of Movement 1 it appears not to effect the audio. During Movement 2 there are 3 - 4 occassions a light tick is heard at the 15 min point 18 min point and 19 min point, however this does not overshaddow the fact that this record is in very good condition, as there is little other surface noise.
Side 2: Visually Side 2 shows even less signs of being played as there is no significant damage / scratches. However like many all old vinyl records clicks can be heard even though the playing surface appears NM / EX +. Unlike Side 1 there are more than 3 - 4 occasions. I would say 10 - 12 throughout the 8 variations, however other than these the sound quality is excellent with very little / no noise.
Overall: This is still a high quality record, for the majority of the performance there is little to no surface noise., and had the obvious clicks not been present I would have graded this high, EX+. There is no crackle or loud hiss, however if it is perfection you are looking for please do not bid on this item.
