Description

This is another LP I am selling in superb condition.  This A3/B4 pressing of Flash Gordon plays extremely well with almost no background interference.  I can see a small cluster of hairline marks on 'In The Space Capsule' but they have no bearing on the audio at all.  In fact during this track there is only one light click and nothing else.    

In actual fact the sound quality on Side One is of a very high standard.   There are so many quiet sections and yet there is barely any static to be heard.  A little more perhaps during 'In The Death Cell' but hardly obtrusive.  There is also one light click right at the end of 'The Kiss'.  As you can see I play test right to the end!  Overall a superb listen.

Side Two if anything plays even better and with stunning clarity.  With only intermittent and very quiet static this plays almost like new.  I only heard one faint click during the entire play back and that's not bad considering it's now 35 years old!  There is a little distortion during 'The Hero' but I find this is very common with this LP.  So often final tracks are 'squeezed' onto a side with the grooves pressed closer together which causes a slight deterioration in quality.      

The cover has been very well cared for and has only minor wear.  The edges and spine are in exemplary condition with no shelf wear at all and the opening edge is superbly clean also.  There is just minor creasing to the opening edge corners and very slight spotting to the top of the cover.   Overall though it is in wonderful condition and there are not many better around!

The die-cut picture/lyric inner is in great condition and has no splits at all, as close to Mint as you will find.  

Play tested on my Technics SL-J110R turntable system
