Wearless spindle hole

Matrix / Runout (Side A): MGN 1055 A A  machine engraved

This thick, heavy vinyl retains its fine original sheen and looks carefully and hardly played

Audio grade

Side A : EXCELLENT++ to NEAR MINT

Excepting only one shortest episode of extremely light background cracklin', softly feelable to the end of the second track caused by the flaws noted above during my visual inspection and not affecting the listening experience, plays clean with NO other noticeable blemishes as tics, clicks, skips, surface noise

Side B : NEAR MINT-

Play clean with NO noticeable blemishes as tics, clicks, skips. There's a lightest background rustlin' but only in the dead wax between some tracks

Superb high fidelity sound !

 NO RESERVE

 Cleaned with CLEAR AUDIO VACUUM MATRIX using its PURE GROOVE professional solution

 

COVER : NEAR MINT

1st original solid, framed, laminated front, cardboard rear jacket in fine condition

 The front side retains its striking, glossy original shape

There's only a minuscule hint of early laminate peeling near the top right corner,absolutely insignificant and not affecting the beauty and the integrity of the artwork whatsoever

NO other flaws ! 

Sharp corners

Tight seams and fully readable spine:  INTACT with NO wear

With NO ring-wear, NO dog-eared corners, NO seams splits, NO tears, NO writings, NO stamps, NO holes
