Matrix etching is SMAS-11163-G75. Breakdown of the Matrix Etching:


- When reading vinyl runout grooves like "SMAS-1-11163-G75", here is what those characters mean:

SMAS-1-11163: This is the fundamental catalog number for the stereo LP used by Harvest/Capitol Records. The 1 denotes Side 1.


- G-75: The letter (G) and number (75) combination is a stamper code. It indicates which lacquer and metal stamper in the pressing sequence was used at the factory.


- Gene / MASTERED BY CAPITOL: Etched or stamped into the wax right alongside "G-75", this indicates that Capitol's mastering engineer, Gene Thompson, cut this specific side of the record.


This record is in beautiful condition. I played it on my Rega turntable to check it and it plays perfectly with excellent fidelity and imperceptible surface noise. No visible scratches. Includes original posters. Minor shelf wear on sleeve. See photos.


Vinyl Record Condition Grading System:


The grading system for vinyl records is a standardized way to describe their condition. Here's a breakdown of each grade:

• Mint (M): An unplayed record in perfect condition. It's as pristine as it was when it left the manufacturer.

• Near Mint (NM): A record that has been handled very carefully and has minimal wear.

• Excellent (EX): Shows minor signs of wear but plays perfectly without any significant noise.

• Very Good Plus (VG+): May have light wear and slight surface noise but still offers a pleasurable listening experience.

• Very Good (VG): Noticeable wear and noise are present, but the record is still enjoyable to listen to.

• Good (G): This record grading system describes significant wear and noise, including potential skips. It's in a condition that affects the listening experience but is still playable.

• Fair (F): Heavy wear, with skips or other playback issues, is often considered for its collectible value rather than listening quality.

• Poor (P): Essentially unplayable but may hold value due to extreme rarity.
