This Copy:
Mother/Stampers are 1/G 1/R - low!
Matrix / Runout (Runout A variant 2): QHVL 781 A-2Matrix / Runout (Runout B variant 2): QHVL 781 B-3
Sleeve has some rubbing commensurate with age and there is a bit of staining on the back; inside gatefold is good, spine worn a bit but readable. Please view all photos
The vinyl looks good, as do the labels - quite a few light marks and scuffs from past use. Nothing deep or impactful
Includes the original inner sleeve - "what is quadrophonic sound" - see photos. Often this is misssing - this copy has some staining but no rips and intact.
I have never played a 'quadrophonic' LP on my stereo system before, but I played and compared this to a stereo copy I had. The very quiet nature of the music means, in my experience, there is inevitably more noise on well played copies. The crackle on this was a lot quieter than my stereo version though, but present; it plays well, and, the sound quality was superb! I guess played on an SQ system set up it would sound even better! - there are no jumps, loud pops etc, just a bit of crackle in quiet bits as ever...a really nice copy and a great sound.
- - they are regularly 50+ on the DC reference above...without inners!
