VINYL
THE VINYL IS VERY HEAVY AND THICK ONLY FOUND ON THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT SHEEN!! THE RECORD IS IN TOP CONDITION AND LOOKS SUPERB!!! ONE OF THE BEST "MACHINE HEAD" RECORDS I´VE EVER SEEN!!!! UNDER VERY VERY STRONG LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE THE LIGHTEST SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS, BUT NO SCRATCHES!!!! SO I GRADED THE VINYL AS TOP MINT- !!! UNBELIEVABLE FOR A RECORD WHO IS 39 YEARS OLD!!!! IT WOULD SUPRISE ME IF YOU WOULD FIND A BETTER COPY!!!! NEVER NEED TO UPGRADE!!!
AUDIO
I PLAYED THE COMPLETE RECORD AT VERY LOUD VOLUME!!! THE AUDIO QUALITY IS JUST AMAZING!!!! BOTH SIDES PLAYS CRYSTAL CLEAR WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION!!!! THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDING "MACHINE HEAD" RECORDS I´VE EVER HEARD!!!!! THERE IS A MINIMAL LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE IN THE QUIETEST PARTS, MOSTLY IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS, BUT THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!!!! ON MY SYSTEME THE COMPLETE RECORD PLAYS ABSOLUTELY TOP!!!! IN MY OPINION ONLY THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS HAVE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY!! THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS AND IT SOUNDS VERY VERY VIBRANT, CLEAR AND DEEP!!! TOP AUDIO ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!! PLAYS 100% FLAT WITHOUT ANY SKIPS OR STICKS!!!
