Another "must have" for any serious collection. This one features Eric Clapton and Duane Allman on guitars accompanied by Bobby Whitlock (Organ, Piano and acoustic guitar), Jim Gordon (drums) and Carl Raddle (bass + percussion).
I compare my pressings on top notch equipment, using the expensive BENZ MICRO SLR Gullwing MC-cartridge with the Micro Ridge cut diamond. It reveals everything from any Vinyl which sometimes can be a curse, especially with 40+ year old records. When I grade a record as Excellent, I am pretty sure many other sellers would not hestitate to call it Near Mint. When I give a record the "Near Mint" grading it is practically flawless. I am collecting Vinyl since 35+ years and own hundreds of records from the day they came into the shops.
The Vinyl: visual EXCELLENT(+), playback is NEAR MINT
Held up into a very strong light I can see a few hairlines. The Vinyl is clean and shiny on all 4 sides. The playback is fantastic throughout. The sound is rich and full bodied. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.
The Labels: NEAR MINT
I can hardly detect any spindle traces at all, very clean, bright colors and no unwanted writing.
The MacNeill Press Gatefold-Sleeve: EXCELLENT
Very soft edge rubbing in places, mild ring-wear on bottom and top of back, spine has no rubbing at all and is very firm, no splits, no tears, no unwanted writing at all.
Original Inner Sleeves: EXCELLENT+
Plain wite with "Patent Nos. 1125555" and "Made in Great Britain" credits, no splits at all, very clean.
In case of any further questions please don't hesitate to mail me. I will answer promptly.
Due to the somehow weird eBay policies regarding postage please ignore the postage fee mentioned above. I decided to fix shipping at 7 GBP to anywhere in Europe and 9 GBP to the rest of the world. This includes the fees for "signed for/registered" and also Insurance to make sure the record arrives safely. It also allows to track it during its transit. The record ships from Germany.
I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.
Good luck.
