An original 1st press of RAM from 1971 on the UK Apple label. Matrix 1/1. The vinyl comes housed in an original gatefold sleeve printed in England. The cover is laminated on the outside, but not on the inside.
Vinyl (Ex+) In stunning condition and has only seen the very light use. Under close inspection we could only make out a couple of light marks either side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Absolutely faultless rendition. Intros and inbetweens are silent and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Even in the low-key passages perfectly clean audio and no background. Interference is pretty much non-existent. I couldn't detect more than a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated spots. Impressive!
Cover (Ex) Lovely condition and might grade higher, but for a crease on the rear. Front is lovely and clean without creasing. The rear is almost as good just with that crease already identified. The interior is in great condition too - no issues. Edge wear is very light and the spine is fully intact. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity.
