                                         LP 409                     Matrix no's : HK-5445 - A / B                                                                                'INFINITY SERIES' ( scratched into run offs )                                       
Visually the vinyl retains excellent sheen and under bright light there are lots of visible marks, mainly hairlines and paper scuffs etc but also some other more significant marks or blemishes. Playback overall is graded a strong EXCELLENT MINUS - it actually plays really great, clear and full MONO quality and is graded excellent minus mainly on account of the surface noise audible in between tracks.  And it really is a great Lp !
  The RED/ORANGE SATURN record labels are graded EXCELLENT MINUS - with some minor visible spindle wear.
The thick card PICTURE sleeve is in really good shape !  Other than some slight discolouration to the white card in places it remains very strong with uncrushed spine and no splits - there is also a faint number '3' written in biro on the front top but those are the only real blemishes - graded a strong EXCELLENT MINUS.
A classic free astro galaktic jazz Lp from the one and only SUN RA ( and his troupe of fellow travellers ).  


SHIPPING All Lps are packed carefully and shipped using purpose made new corrugated card RECORD MAILERS ( not thin card, single sleeve 'envelopes' etc ) and we take care to make sure that the vinyl and inner sleeve are removed from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits during transit.
