GRADING / CONDITION
VINYLS (x2)
The First Press Vinyl grades as MINT Only the tiniest barely visible sleeve removal marks !!! Absolutely NO hairlines across all 4 sides, under a very strong light, superb glossy rainbow sheen, obviously only been played a couple of times at most !!!
Being ultra fussy and honest, a tiny 3mm blemish, dirty mark, is visible on Side 4 track 1,Revolution,which should clean off, but is not feel able and has no effect at all on superb audio. NOT PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED, BUT STILL VISUALLY LOOKS UNPLAYED SIMPLY STUNNING !!!!!!
AUDIO
Fantastic Audio Experience when fully play tested on my Rega P6 turntable.
Sounds superb, this is even without a pro clean (which I don't have access too and doubt it needs one)
THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS for this 50 year old vinyl !!! A Rare Opportunity
NUMBERED GATEFOLD SLEEVE
The first press Top opening, Numbered Sleeve No. 0127683, is in VERY VERY NEAR MINT condition, NONE of the usual issues with THIS cover !!! Glossy laminated sheen on front , inside and back of sleeve, no edge rub at all, fully legible uncrushed spine, all inner fold overs perfect. The best condition sleeve I've ever seen SUPERB !!!!
