Description
For sale is a vinyl record by Willie Colon titled El Juicio, originally released in 1972 by Fania Records. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is etched "Sterling LH", indicating that this record was mastered at Sterling Sound, New York City, New York by Lee Hulko. This is a hallmark of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put the album into an archival inner sleeve. Doing this protects the integrity of vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may have come with the release. There is no original inner sleeve with this listing. The cover is graded as Very Good because of a two inch seam split on the top right hand corner, corner blunts, edge rubs and foxing along the edges of the back cover. The spine has color loss at the corners from these blunts. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint with shiny and bright surfaces, in a like-new condition without any surface scratches, smudges or spindle marks on the labels. I'm play grading it as Very Good Plus because of occasional low level surface noise. more noticeable during the quietest sections of playback, but not over-powering the music. It plays all the way through without any skips or pops. This is still one of the best copies of this record that I have ever seen or heard. You would be hard pressed to find a copy in this condition, especially a Lee Hulko pressing. I have more Latin albums, as well as records of all genres in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
