Description
A nice clean copy of Ray Smith's Travelin' With Ray. This is the Canadian version of Judd JLPA701, on the REO label.
This is an great sounding example of a relatively rare LP.
Visual Vinyl Grading:
The record is very clean, with very few light scuffs or scratches when viewed under a strong light.
The label on side 1 shows no wear, but does have 5 thin parallel scratch marks on the right-hand side, that are shown in the photograph. The label on side 2 is clean and unmarked.
Audio Vinyl Grading:
This record really does sound great! Side one plays cleanly, with minimal surface noise only heard between the tracks, for an EX rating (or better than VG+, depending on which grading scale you use).
Side two is much the same, with the disappointing exception of some light repetitive ticks that can be heard during parts of tracks 2 and 3. I didn't hear more than three in a row on either track. Because of this, I would grade tracks 2 and 3 as VG, for an overall audio rating of VG+.
Sleeve Grading:
The front cover is glossy and unworn. There is a 4" seam split on the top right corner, which can be seen in the photographs.
The back cover shows some water marks on the edges, and some light wear marks across the top edge.
The spline is clean and undamaged, and the sleeve itself doesn't smell like mildew or tobacco. The sleeve is the American Judd printing, adapted for the Canadian market with a REO catalog number sticker on the back top right and a Quality Records stamp at the bottom middle.
The inner sleeve is new.
Shipping to the USA is by Canada Post "Tracked Packet", with delivery in 6 business days.
