CONDITION

The Vinyl

EXCELLENT

On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks SUPERB, LOVELY, GLOSSY AND MIRROR LIKE SHINE I can only see a couple of FEINT BLEMISHES OR HAIRLINES EVEN UNDER A STRONG LIGHT !!!

Any marks that could possibly be seen under a stronger light would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve!

 Importantly There is definitely NO needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!!

A STUNNING example of this RARE MONO FIRST EVER PRESS from 1956. SUPERB !!!

IN MY OPINION ITS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO BETTER THIS RARE VINYL , MOST ARE VERY SCRATCHED AND POORLY KEPT? NOT THIS ONE ! AMAZING AFTER OVER HALF A CENTURY !!!

The Audio Quality EXCELLENT ++

I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system,  the audio is awesome! 

Crystal clear and vibrant through out, with NO distortion or any signs of groove wear at all  !!!! 

Certainly NO clicks pops or jumps!!  As good as it gets in my opinion !! 

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES!  

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 65 YEARS OLD !!!!! 

The Labels:  NEAR MINT

These are super ! Bright and clean  SPINDLE LINES can be seen on each side, angled in strong light but concentrated around the centre hole only.

Confirming this has definitely been played sparingly over the last 65 years !!!!

Please note! i am highly critical about the audio quality on my records as it is my prime interest above rarity

This plays awesome you will not be disappointed.

The Outer Sleeve  

As is usually the case with this original thin paper style sleeve I Can only grade this as FAIR,

A long split along top edge, front has tears and evidence of previous attempted repair,

rear flipback partly missing etc

The spine is solid and fully legible

IN ALL HONESTY THE VINYL RECORD ITSELF DESERVES A BETTER OUTER SLEEVE, THIS WOULD MAKE THIS A GREAT VERY VALUABLE COPY,

 IF YOU HAVE A NICE SLEEVE AND A SCRATCHED RECORD, THIS IS DEFINATELY FOR YOU !!

The original Inner Sleeve  EXCELLENT

This is the original correct paper poly lined inner sleeve.

 NO splits or tears, just very light minimal creases, lovely !!!
