A SIDE

Vinyl is visually EX+, just a couple of faint hairlines. Audio is very clean and with very little background noise on run ins and in between tracks. Audio is loud and EX+ throughout.

Three faint ticks during intro to 'Whole Lotta Love'.

Quiet intro to 'What Is And What Should Never Be' is awesomely quiet, breathtakingly superb! One of the cleanest copies I have ever heard!

'Lemon Song' is again superb with no noise at all during the quiet interlude sections.

'Thank You' is a lovely version, just some very faint background crackle (very faint!) towards the end keyboard solo section.

Volume is superb and the bass frequency particularly is fantastic. No pops, No jumps or sticks.

 

B SIDE

Sounds great. I noticed a few faint pops/ticks in 'Heartbreaker'. Run in to track 2 is very quiet.

'Living Loving Maid' is great throughout with no problems at all.

Quiet intro to 'Ramble On' is again beautifully clean and free from all background noise. Superb. Even the fade out is super clean.

'Moby Dick' is superb throughout.

'Bring It On Home' is another quiet intro that normally suffers with terrible background crackle. This one doesn't and again sounds superb. EX+ at least!

SUPERB PLAYING VINYL AND ONE OF THE BEST COPIES I'VE HEARD.

 

OUTER SLEEVE

Sleeve is in EX+ condition with very little visible wear to spine and only light wear to top and bottom edges. Most of these are absolutely trashed! Only faint ringwear to rear sleeve. Inner gatefold is MINT. Opening edges are lovely and crisp, barely any thumbing at all. Superb.

 

LABELS

Labels are clean with only a few spindle traces visible, no graffiti. 

 

INNER SLEEVE

Plain white poly lined.
