ORIGINAL 1ST U.S PRESS ON RAWSE

PLAYS VG+ / EX+

EX SLEEVE

THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

THE BLUE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO MARKS OR STAINS AND A COLOUR THAT FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.

THE SILVER TYPEFACE HAS A LITTLE FADING IN PATCHES

THE VINYL

THE SURFACE IN DAYLIGHT LOOKS FLAWLESS, AND GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.

UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO. I SEE A FEW EMBEDDED DULL STREAKS (TOTALLY NON SOUNDING) PLUS A FEW TINY MARKS

PLAYING THE RECORD

THE PLAYING OF THIS ALBUM WAS A JOY BECAUSE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHICH INDICATED NO GROOVE WEAR

ALSO NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE. NO HISS OR RUMBLE ETC

ALSO THE RECORD PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE

SIDE ONE HAS A FEW RANDOM TICS AND POPS UP UNTIL THE FINAL THRID OF THE LAST TRACK WHERE A MARK CAUSES ROTATIONAL TICS FOR THE LAST 30 SECONDS OR SO

SIDE TWO DOESN'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM AND ONLY HAS A FEW TICS AND POPS THROUGH THE SIDE

TAKE A LISTEN TO THE FULL RECORDING TO HEAR WHAT I MEAN

FOR ME SIDE A PLAYS VG+ AND SIDE TWO EX++

THE SLEEVE

THIS ALBUM ONLY EVER CAME IN A PLAIN WHITE SLEEVE THAT HAS A LARGE ADHESIVE STICKER PLACED ON THE FRONT ONLY

AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES THE STICKER IS IN TOP CONDITION

THE ORIGINAL OWNER WROTE SOME TRACK TITLES IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER. ODDLY THEY ARE NOT THE TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM

THE WHITE SURFACES DO SHOW SOME HANDLING AND AGEING

THERE ARE NO SEAM SPLITS AND THE EDGES ARE ALL IN GREAT SHAPE

THE OPENING EDGE IS ALSO SHARP AND IN GOOD ORDER

THERE IS SOME DOODLING ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE AT THE TOP

THE SLEEVE EASILY GRADES VG+

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
