Catalog Number:    SD-8216

Specifics:    Vintage 1969 "Monarch" True 1st U.S. Pressing, Green/Red 1841 Broadway Labels

Matrix:

*** PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION BELOW ***

Vinyl Grade (visual/play): 

Side One: VG visual grade; there are light sleeve scuffs and light non-feeler marks. Clean unmarked label. Clean shiny wax.

Side One: VG/VG+ play grade; there are no repetitive ticks or pops, but there is that one hiccup at the beginning of track one, but it plays through without further incident. There is the expected background crackle but it is generally mild and fades away into the very dynamic and powerful playback. 

Side Two: VG/VG+ visual grade; lots of light sleeve marks and scuffs, but no feeler marks. Wax has a nice shine to it. Clean unmarked label.

Side Two: VG+ play grade; there are no repetitive ticks or pops, and definitely no skips. This side also plays extremely well and clean with the expected background crackle, but it is very mild and fades away into the very dynamic and powerful playback.

Jacket Grade:    EX; the jacket is still inside most of the factory shrink, which has torn open partially, but the jacket does have some blemishes - at the gate top opening, and along the shrink opening on the bottom front jacket panel. No seam splits! Crisp clean title edge! Includes the original Atlantic inner sleeve as pictured.
