Notes

ALL GRADINGS ARE BASED ON THOROUGH VISUAL INSPECTION AND A FULL AUDITION

RECORD

1st original 1971 US stereo pressing with super clean labels and wearless spindle hole

 Matrix / runout (Side A) : A4RS 3430  1A    BJ/4    S1 engraved by hand

Matrix / runout (Side B) : A4RS 3431  1    BJ/4    S2 engraved by hand

This thick vinyl shines and sparkles as new and looks carefully played no more than two or three times 

Visual A

Excepting only one tiny, lightest, hardly visible under a strong bulb lamp sleeve scuff to the beginning of the 1st track, the playing surface looks virtually free of any other noticeable signs of wear or handling as marks, scratches, groove wear

Visual B

The playing surface looks free of any noticeable signs of wear or handling as scuffs, marks, scratches, groove wear

Audio grade

Side A 

1st track : EXCELLENT++

Graded as such only because of a shortest episode of extremely light background tickin', softly feelable below the music level to the beginning of the track, not affecting the listening experience, caused by the flaw noted above during my visual inspection . Then plays loud and very clean with NO other noticeable blemishes

2nd/ 3rd/ 4th tracks : CLOSE to MINT

 Play loud and clean with NO noticeable blemishes of any kind!  With NO tics, NO clicks, NO skips, NO noise

Side B : CLOSE to MINT  

Plays loud and clean with NO noticeable blemishes as tics, clicks, skips, noise  

NO RESERVE

 Cleaned with CLEAR AUDIO VACUUM MATRIX using its PURE GROOVE professional solution

COVER : NEAR MINT-

1st original thick, textured jacket  graded as such only because of more (left) or less (right) noticeable impact to the top corners, not affecting the beauty and the integrity of the artwork 

The front and back sides retain their striking, crisp original shape with tight  seams and fully readable spine

 With NO ring-wear, NO seams splits, NO tears, NO writings, NO stamps, NO holes, NO stains
