Description
Please read this entire description --- this is a nice original multicolor label copy of the LP with a couple of important issues to be aware of.
The record has some imperfections from the pressing plant. Side A has a series of small circular indentations, basically the opposite of the pressing “bubbles” you sometimes see. There are also some very light scuffs. These
issues do not affect playback and this side plays solid VG+. Side B has similar light scuffs but instead of the indentations, it has one small pressing “bubble” on the last track “Right On.” The bubble is a couple of mm wide. It pops
lightly for several rotations. On a newer Audio Technica turntable tracking at 1.25 grams, there is a single skip (not a locked groove) that goes by fairly unobtrusively. When I played this on a vintage 70s turntable tracking a bit heavier it did not skip. See the detailed photos of the issues on both sides. I know there are methods to fix skips and this could be possible, but I have not attempted it.
Just know that a single skip during “Right On” is a possibility. I would grade it VG without the skip, and it plays solid VG+ apart from “Right On.”
The cover is sharp, but there is a punch hole in the lower left corner, and the top left corner is slightly bumped. Otherwise crisp, no seam splits or significant wear, tears, discoloration etc. Again, see the detailed photos. Grade VG+
Thanks and happy to answer any questions you may have.
