THE PENTANGLE - SELF TITLED
1968 1ST STEREO
CAT. NO. TRA 162
ORIGINAL TRANSATLANTIC LABELS
Sleeve: Excellent Minus condition. Has retained its gloss, bright coloration and contrast... Corners and edges are neat with only very small traces of shelf-wear, although the spine has a few tiny nicks with laminate bubbling near its edge. No tears, rips, or repairs, scuffs, writing etc. Lies completely flat with no rippling, firm and slim, and neat overall. Very thin card sleeve usually found with record ring-wear although this copy does not have any, just a couple of crease lines. Very clean original sleeve.
The Vinyl: In an Excellent Plus condition ... Has retained a jet-black glossy pressing sheen all over both surfaces and looks to have been barely ever played. There are no warps, no scuffs, no needle drops, no groove wear, no scratches, and no hairlines which stand-out. The surfaces are clean and have retained their original lustre and project a strong mirror-like shine. Inspected under light there are just a small amount of feint wispy hairlines which evidently appear to be from sleeve removal. The condition clearly shows the potential for an outstanding audio rendition and is probably as good as likely to be found.
Inner Sleeve: Original plain inner sleeve in a decent condition with no splits, only minor discolouration, and neat opening seam.
The Labels: Excellent Plus condition. Look stunning and with barely any spindle perimeter wear, there are no spindle line traces to the spindle points.
The Audio: There is no particular discernible deviation from the original audio quality. It plays as well as likely to be possible, very clear and lucid with only the very occasional static sound tic only audible in a few of the linking grooves between tracks and perhaps in a few of the fade-out's. Lucid instrumental detail and raw original deep stereo bass channelling, and crisp and clear vocals. No jumps, no pops, no clicks, no skips, no background noise, no sticks etc. Overall a strong Excellent Plus audio, as evidenced by the condition of the vinyl.
