VIRGIN SPINDLE HOLE. THE HIGH LUSTER VINYL BLANK AT FIRST GLANCE OUT OF THE SLEEVE APPEARS UNUSUALLY PRISTINE AND TO HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYED, MUCH LESS TOUCHED, BEFORE NOW. UNDER BRIGHT ANGLED LIGHT AND ASSIDUOUS EXAMINATION A FEW LIGHT SURFACE RUBS AND OR SURFACE PAPER SLEEVE CONTACT IMPRESSIONS. SIDE ONE WITH FAINT LINE IN THE 1ST TRACK IN THE ONE POSITION. WE'VE TEST PLAYED THIS LP ON A PROFESSIONAL SOUND SYSTEM WITH A VPI TURNTABLE WITH A GRADO REFERENCE 1 WOOD CARTRIDGE AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL PLAY. THE LIGHT LINE MENTIONED DID ELICIT A VERY LIGHT CLICK ON PLAY FOR ABOUT HALF THE TRACK. OTHERWISE QUITE FINE ALL AROUND.

⁂PLEASE NOTE THE VINYL DESCRIPTION IS ONLY A VISUAL INSPECTION UNLESS OTHERWISE MENTIONED. HERE IS A FEW WORDS ABOUT MY GRADING SYSTEM AND IS IN ADDITION TO ANYTHING WRITTEN ABOVE AND SUPERSEDES ANY OTHER GRADING SYSTEM, INCLUDING GOLDMINE: ALL RECORDS ARE VISUALLY GRADED AND THE RED GRADE ABOVE REFERS ONLY TO THE STATE OF VINYL......YOU PLAY THE VINYL AND NOT THE COVER....COVER IS NOTED SEPARATELY. IF I'VE TEST PLAYED THE LP IT WILL BE NOTED. MINT INDICATES PRISTINE VINYL WITHOUT ANY MARKS ON THE VINYL BLANK. MINT MINUS MAY CONTAIN A FEW VERY LIGHT SURFACE RUB MARKS FROM HANDLING & SLEEVE WEAR OR A FEW PLAYS. IF YOU ARE A REAL VINYL AFICIONADO AND COLLECTOR YOU'LL KNOW THAT EVEN A FACTORY SEALED LP OCCASIONALLY HAS SOME LIGHT RUB OR SLEEVE MARKS FROM TRANSPORT AND SHELVING. ANYTHING IN THE VG CATEGORY WOULD CONTAIN SOME LIGHT AND FINE SURFACE PLAY LINES AND EVIDENCE OF PLAY WEAR THAT IS EASILY SEEN. SELDOM IS ANYTHING OFFERED IN THE "G" STATE.

FROM THE ALLMUSIC.COM WEBSITE:
biography by Marisa Brown
The woman who would later be affectionately called La Tigre di Cremona (The Tiger from Cremona), Mina, one of the most popular and influential postwar Italian artists, was born in the province of Lombardy in 1940. Her first performance came in 1958 at a club called La Bussola, near Lucca, where Italdisc-Broadway producer David Matalon was impressed with the young singer and soon recorded four songs with her: two in English, "Be Bop a Lula" and "When," under the name Baby Gate; and two in Italian, "Non Partir" and "Malatia," as Mina. It was the latter name that she chose, and stuck with, for her debut album, Tintarella di Luna, which was released in 1960.When an affair with married actor Corrado Pani produced a child in 1963, Mina was banned from Italian state TV, though she was allowed to perform a year later, and from that point on her career only blossomed. She continued to record dozens of albums, and thanks to her high visibility in the television commercials that began in Italy in the period after WWII and the economic boom that followed, she became one of the country's most famous stars. Although Mina decided to stop making live performances in 1974, she made an exception for a 1978 live album, recorded at La Bussola, to celebrate her 20-year career, and in 2001 she treated her fans to an online studio performance recorded during the sessions for her album Sconcerto. The following years saw the release of the three-disc The Platinum Collection, as well as other greatest-hits collections and numerous new recordings extending into the new millennium.

AND, LASTLY, PLEASE DO REMEMBER SOUND QUALITY IS AFFECTED BY WHAT THE VINYL IS PLAYED ON! IF YOUR STEREO SYSTEM HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CHOSEN AND ASSEMBLED FOR IT'S AURAL QUALITIES AND YOU PERFORM BASIC MAINTENANCE LIKE CLEANING YOUR VINYL, CLEANING THE NEEDLE AFTER EACH PLAY, AND REPLACING THE CARTRIDGE WHEN NEEDED, YOUR LPS SHOULD SOUND QUITE GOOD.
