Rare Mercury TAS listed VG+ FR1/ FR1 matrix, maroon Grooved label USA  NO cover

 Sound sample auto started when you opened the page.......... Turn up the volume and have a listen....

CARE !!!    no outer cover with this and its well played but after careful cleaning still rates a VG+  will make a bargain for someone who wants this TAS list rarity and doesn't mind they can't look at the cover, but CAN listen to the LP.....

SOUND SAMPLE

6 minute 30 second sample of edges and 2 random sections from middle of each side

Side 2 run in on 1st track, sample for opening 1 minute then tfr to a quiet track Bullfighters prayer, so you can hear the sort of surface noise on this well played LP  finishes at 2  minutes 9 seconds

Side 1 run in on 1st track starts at 2 min 26 seconds and finishes at 3 minutes 23 seconds  then random section from middle of side 1 MALAGUENA starts at 3 minutes 35 seconds and  completes the 6 minute  30 second sound sample

Shows how listenable this is with some light crackles throughout and some small repetetive tics, FULLY TEST PLAYED no skips (1.5gm headshell weight )    I washed this very thoroughly, so I don't really expect it to be any cleaner if the new buyer tries to improve it.

This listing in Australian dollars because I don't live in US or UK, and if you don't, WHAT A WASTE OF DOUBLE CONVERSIONS THAT WOULD BE!!! Also as the exchange rate is more like R.S. not U.S against our vibrant economy in sunny Australia

The keen starting price offers a great opportunity to own this great recording at a reasonable starting price.
