The Audio Quality
Played through track for track prior to listing at very loud volume on a top system! The audio quality is as you would expect of a vinyl in ex+ Condition clear and extremely vibrant through out in fact this plays truly superb. Please note: hair Sleeve entrance line marks but not affecting play back. This played through superb unbelievable audio separation, Even in between tracks this was generally lovely and quiet with just a hint of background static. This vinyl has been stored with a paper sleeve separated from original lyric inner. From My Private Collection The vibrancy of the audio on this pressing in my opinion is almost as good as it gets for this 2nd pressing , lies nice and flat heavy well pressed variation with no warp ! I would class myself as highly critical and this is a truly exceptional sounding vinyl I would grade the audio at least excellent plus for the most part!
Please note! disclaimer ! Please allow for the odd isolated static/ /tick/pop that may be heard in quiet places or in between tracks, certainly not consistent throughout the audio. This is a genuine, vintage vinyl
Points to note! Before Playing A build up of dirt and dust in the grooves from laying dormant causes static crackle\ticks! A constant clean before each play is recommended ! This would reduce any static and enhance the audio quality!
The Record Sleeve
No splits ,tears, original inner V.g
The Cover
The original 2nd issue gatefold cover with original sticker. Note : These covers very difficult to keep in good condition and being primarily due to the ring wear , these are very prone to creasing and rubbing, signs of rubbing and scuff marks . There are no splits or tears and no nasty handwriting , bumps to corners, dents on front and rear . Note: There are (no) real nasty creases. Just light crease lines on colour background , entrance wear . The spine is generally square .. With Promotional Sticker! I would grade the cover at V.G for it's age .
A Vinyl audio archive copy!
