This auction is from the same collection of impeccable condition lp's I've been selling from, but we are now coming to the most collectible parts. In most cases, these are still among the finest copies imaginable. Each one will be graded individually, but many of them are just as pristine as the discs from the late 60's and early 70's.

Artist: Gil Melle
Title: Quadrama
Label/Catalog #: Prestige PRLP 7097  
Mono/Stereo:  Mono
Details:  First pressing. 446 West 50th labels, deep groove, RVG, "AB" etched on both sides (Abbey pressing plant). This still has its original waxy inner sleeve, also impeccably kept. This has been cleaned on a Degritter ultrasonic cleaner.


Record condition:  NM. Stunning, like new copy! Record has a full gloss and no signs of wear at all, like it just came from the factory. Play graded in full. I did hear some crackle during the first 30 seconds of side 1 but then it's very clean. The rest of side 1 plays EX and side 2 is NM or NM-. Judging by the visual cleanliness of this, I think it would be very difficult to improve. Top copy!

Cover: NM-. The cover is outstanding. A very mild and elegant patina, no real wear to mention. The seams are perfect, essentially as clean as this could possibly be for its age. Archival set!

Labels: See photos
