This DEEP GROOVE FIRST US PRESSING WITH THE ORIGINAL STEREO MIXES is PRESSED ON THICK HEAVY 60s VINYL and does have some visible handling & play marks but DELIVERS NICE LOUD FIDELITY with some light background noise tha tthe music mostly overpowers - but there are some spots where some audible hiss comes through between tracks or in quiet passage, and some random artifacts/pops/ticks but still VERY PLEASING FIDELITY. The cover is BRIGHT & CLEAN with some forgivable storage & handling wear, hole punch through center (label too) and lightly worn but SOLID EDGES & SPINE. HERE IS A NICE UPGRADE OR PLAYER'S COPY ANY COLLECTOR WOULD BE GLAD TO OWN = YOU BIDDERS DECIDE THE PRICE AT NO RESERVE AUCTION!!!
