Vinyl Condition
NM
Vinyl is clean and glossy, zero marks other than two light marks on track A3 visible under bright light hat have absolutely no effect on playback. Both sides play graded NM strong clear sound. Haven't heard many records that sound better than this one. No other issues, both sides are in excellent condition.
Dynamic, other worldly sound.

A note about this release…
The first ~750 copies were pressed with different lacquers (different mastering) than the next 4250 copies. These early issues sound incredible. These can be identified four ways
(1) very narrow deadwax (see photos)
(2) “Ortofon” etchings in the dead wax.
(3) A certificate numbered 750 or less
(4) A matching number on the rear jacket
