Record Description

 

This record is in excellent condition and one of the best I’ve ever seen. Due to its popularity at the time of its release these are usually played to death with writing on their labels and mostly without the centres. The label looks great condition with *very* minor spindle hole wear. The vinyl still has a little shine to it with a number of light paper cuts and *very* light scratches on both sides. Play back is very good with a couple of light pops and the pressing background noise is consistent with recordings of the time. I’m using Studio monitors with Ortofon Concorde needles.


Overall I’m going to grade it conservatively as -Ex to Excellent even though I bought it as EX+.


Any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. Do contact me prior to payment if you want to upgrade the postage.

 

The item will be carefully packaged for transit.

 

Please look at my other Ska/Rocksteady record listings.

 

Thank you for looking and good luck if you are bidding.
