The Record

Near Excellent condition

Near Excellent condition on this 1970 1st Pressing 636011-1Y and 636011-2Y,

a real timepiece looks great! a few spindle lines and stored upright in PVC jacket for many years.some light removal scratches or surface lines to report there are removal scuffs under strong light, still a real finders dream!
plays incredible with hardly any background noise could benefit from a professional clean, we don't do this its a personal thing. some light background in the quieter passages the overall volume of the music is easily enjoyable on the soon to be 47 year old, super shiny clean fat pre oil crisis 70s vinyl (see pics) great swirl labels...

no writing stickers or tape to report.

the original "Vertigo Swirl" inner is present along with a new lined sleeve. the original swirl inner has aged and yellowed slightly but is present and in good order no tears or rips.

The Cover
Near Excellent

Great original 1970 *Big Bear* engineer Jim Simpson credit "Keef" cover with UK "matt finish" a great condition with almost zero ringwear to rear, no writing stickers or tape to report. A real collectors find!
very slight rounding at corners , no splits or tears to worry about.


the inner gatefold is really nice clear clean and not a lot of handling evident, truly a collectors find. No tape or writing and no worrying faults a great sleeve that would be *Excellent* only the slight pin holes keeping it *Near Ex* it looks like it was wall mounted a long long time ago.

any questions look at pics and ask.....

pictures in the listing are of the item for sale " what you see is what you get here"

Plays fantastic with bright clear sound and amazing bass, may benefit from a professional clean (we don't do this as it's an individual thing) some background static is noticeable in the quieter passages but nothing to disrupt playing no sticks or jumps on our Rega 3.

any questions please ask!
