1st US pressing on the black/orange Impulse label A-5 STEREO

Van Gelder in run offs

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some general remarks: This item is always in high demand but usually many copies are beaten up. This one has EXCELLENT+ playback.       

I grade my records on top notch equipment, using the expensive Lyra Kleos MC-cartridge. 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. I clean all records on my Keith Monks RCM II and add the Nagaoka N102 protective sleeve to each record.

 

The Vinyl: visually between VG++ and EXC but playback is EXCELLENT+ throughout. It has some non-sounding scuffs and hairlines. Will be hard to find a better one. Playback is loud and strong. The Vinyl sits flat on the turntable.

 

The Labels: EXCELLENT+

A few wispy spindle traces only. Fantastic.

 

The laminated Sleeve: EXCELLENT

This is the original first sleeve made of very heavy cardboard, it retained its full shine and only has very minor edge rubbing at a few spots and a slight coner bump on the upper right. Inside is extremely clean, the spine is very strong and clearly readable. 

 

Plain White Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT+ 

 

If you ever intended to own a TRUE FIRST PRESSING of this gem in fantastic condition don't let this one pass by.

 

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 listed 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.

 

Payment is required within 3 working days after auction ended.

 

I pack my records professionally in stiff record mailers leaving the Vinyl (housed in Nagaoka anti-static bags) outside the Sleeve.  

 

Good luck.
