RECORD

1st original 1960 US stereo pressing with Deep Groove on both "black/silver" super clean labels

Wearless spindle hole

Matrix / Runout (Side A): RLP 12-1171 A 1171A  engraved by hand

Matrix / Runout (Side B):  RLP 12-1171 B 1171B  engraved by hand

This thick, heavy vinyl shines and sparkles almost as new and looks carefully played a very few times

 Visual

Side A

Excepting one minuscule, light mark on the first track and one, extremely light, unfeelable sleeve scuff on the last track, the playing surface looks free of other noticeable signs of handling as scratches, groove wear

Side B

Playing surface virtually free of noticeable signs of wear or handling as scuffs, marks, scratches, groove wear

Audio grade

Side A : CLOSE to NEAR MINT

Plays loud and clean with just a shortest (3/4 revolutions), insignificant episode of extremely light, very hardly feelable well below the music level, background tickin' on the first track, caused by the flaw noted above during my visual inspection. NO other noticeable blemishes ! 

Side B : NEAR MINT (STRONG)

Plays loud and clean with NO noticeable blemishes as tics, clicks, skips, surface or background noise

NO RESERVE

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

 

COVER : EXCELLENT +

Original solid cardboard jacket graded as such because of a transparent tape all along the top seam and a slightest hint of surface wear to the bottom corners

The front side retains its striking, brilliant original shape with NO shelf wear

Tight seams and fully readable spine

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