A1/B1

Vinyl: EX+, superb copy, just a few very faint hairlines here and there.

Sleeve: VG+ usual laminate creasing, some other light creases to corners, some age marks to spine.

Inner sleeve: VG+ 

Audio: Graded track by track for the best grading possible!

I've heard brand new reissues sound worse than this!! This is the BEST playing red/plum LZ 1 I've ever heard! Outstanding throughout!

SIDE 1

1. Good Times Bad Times: near silent initial run in, virtually no background crackle! One light tick during opening section. Song audio is NEAR MINT! Virtually NO background crackle into fade out into next track...

2. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You: breathtakingly free from background noise/crackle! Outstanding quiet acoustic intro and vocals. Wow! This track is normally trashed on vinyl and sounds like a frying pan is on in the background! Just a few very faint ticks on outro, otherwise this plays as MINT. This is simply superb throughout! Graded (due to the aforementioned faint ticks) as NEAR MINT!

3. You Shook Me: intro again beautifully quiet and virtually no background crackle. Just a few very very faint ticks just before verse 2. Outstanding audio, plays as NEAR MINT!

4. Dazed and Confused: intro again beautifully quiet and virtually no background crackle - SUPERB! The long instrumental section features lots of quiet sections and again is usually prone to background noise, this again plays beautifully and is free from background crackle. Stunning copy! Pretty much MINT! 

SIDE 2

1. Your Time Is Gonna Come: near silent initial run in, virtually no background crackle! A few very light ticks during solo organ opening section. Song audio is NEAR MINT! Virtually NO background crackle into fade out into next track...

2. Black Mountain Side: MINT! Simple as that! Nothing at all to spoil this track.

3. Communication Breakground: MINT! Yet again! Stunning track, intro is perfect! Nothing in the gaps of the guitar opening riff. Superb throughout! Fade out is perfect.

4. I Can't Quit You Baby: intro is again breathtakingly virtually completely free from background crackle (just a couple of super super faint ticks - barely audible!), this is another track prone to 'frying pan crackle' (!) and yet this copy is just superb! Even the dead stops in the middle section guitar solo are completely free from crackle! Easily NEAR MINT!

5. How Many More Times: intro is yet again wonderfully clean! Just outstanding audio. A hint of a light tick mid way through first verse. After that it's MINT! Even the dead stop and quieter section after the guitar solo is breathtakingly clean! The "Oh Rosie" sections also feature dead stops and again these too are just wonderful with NO background crackle! Amazing playing copy!
