Here is your opportunity to own the Legendary Pet Sounds album from The Beach Boys.  Many critics and fans agree that Pet Sounds is one of the most incredible albums ever made.  Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Pet Sounds number 2 out of the top 500 albums of all time.  This album was created during a real period of transition for The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson.  This particular LP has DT-1-2458-B 10  #4 as the matrix number stamped in the dead wax, on side one.  Side two of the LP has DT-2-2458-A-9  #3 stamped in the dead wax.  Both sides of the deadwax also contain a triangle stamp with the letters I,A, and M inside of it.  The triangle stamp signifies a very first pressing from the Scranton, PA pressing plant.  The IAM stands for International Association of Machinists.  The Scranton, PA pressing plant was a union shop and their stamper signified that.  The vinyl is in Very Good/Very Good Minus condition.  The LP has many hairline scratches and  some paper scuffs on each side.  The blemishes are relatively visible without powerful lighting.  The blemishes have a minimal affect on the playback.  I noticed some background noise between tracks and at the end/beginning of each side of the LP.  I also noticed some feedback towards some of the quieter passages.  The vinyl is very thick and the playback is still strong.  The playback is closer to Very Good.  The LP labels are quite nice with only a few faint spindle marks on each side.  Side two of the LP label also contains the original owners name at the top, in the rainbow.  This album also includes the original Capitol Records Company inner sleeve.  The inner sleeve is in great condition.  The LP cover is in Excellent/Very Good Plus condition.  The cover has some light ring wear on each side.  The seams and spine all have some very minor wear.  The spine is very crisp and completely legible.  All four corners are still very sharp.  The number 3 is on the bottom right corner, next to RIAA Symbol.  This album has been professionally cleaned on a VPI 16.5 and will be shipped in a brand new white inner sleeve.  The album jacket will come in a new 3 mil poly sleeve.  The album will be professional shipped in an LP mailer with two 12 inch cardboard inserts.  The LP will be positioned outside of the jacket when shipped.  This album is ready for playing or storage.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  I do not ship outside of the United States.  I can combine shipping for multiple auction wins.  Please bid with confidence.
