STERLING Mastered Promo
SRC Pressing
Visual & Play Near Mint Plus
This Promotional version of the release was pressed at
Specialty Records Corporation ("SRC" in runout wax)
in Olyphant, PA.
Their pressings are commonly prized for their sonic
characteristics. This LP is certainly an example of what
some term, a strong candidate for a "White Hot Stamper".
The recording was mastered at STERLING.

LP: (Graded) Near Mint Plus / Mint Minus, according to Goldmine record grading definitions. This record grades as an LP that appears to either have been just opened or possibly handled or played once only in the most cautious manner possible.
A virtual Mint Minus. No signs of use. The plating surface and labels are pristine with as new glossiness. The LP is exceptionally clean and turntable ready.
Play Grade: Near Mint Plus / Mint Minus
- this pressing is spectacular sounding - detail, imaging, dynamics and stereo separation. The quietness of digital and the richness of analog. The absence of surface noise both during and between tracks, rivals Compact Disc quietness, which is particularly important with a recording such as this with various passages that are relatively sparsely accompanied. Rates a 9.9 minimum on the below scale:
Cover: (Graded) Near Mint - no indications of shelfwear and still inside original shrinkwrap - has small promo cutout hole. All solid seams and fully legible spine printing.
Retains original issue custom lyrics / credits innersleeve, which has some wrinkling at the top opening and two carefully tape mended seams.
