Label: Decca - Unboxed Red Labels

Cat No: LK-R 5005

Released: 1969

Condition: Read Carefully - Low Reserve -  Play Copy / Playable Collection Filler 

Vinyl Audio:  In need of a deep professional clean and despite the visual grading / also see photos - the audio is quite strong with the powerful music but on this occassion not for the complete audiophile - Whilst the audio is good and powerfull both sides play through without sticking apart from the very last track on side two (a quality arm should play through this)- possible repeat on Annabelle and distortion before continuing but there is unavoidable crackle  / background noise throughout, whilst this is dissapointing it is a good play copy if you can see / hear past this,  which has seen many a party / gathering - an opportunity to obtain a copy for your collection that will not set you back the top prices this LP usually demands and deserves as it is a true gem and a must for any serious collection even as a good play copy or collection filler until that mint copy comes along.

Side1: Average / Good only at best subject to professional clean - Nothing that appears completely disastrous but has been well handled, usual traces, surface marks and scratches including about two which are feelable - A playable copy that is not ready for the knackers yard just yet - has seen many a party / gathering.

Side2: Average / Good only at best subject to professional clean - Nothing that appears completely disastrous but has been well handled, usual traces, surface marks and scratches including about two of which are feelable - A playable copy that is not ready for the knackers yard just yet - has seen many a party / gathering.
