ASD 401 - 1961 HMV Stereo.

A Very Rare Vinyl Record
First Press,
First issue,
First Stampers
Factory Sample / Promo
on the White and Gold HMV Label.

Matrix.
Side One   -   2YEA 469-4    2    G
Side Two   -   2YEA 470-4    1    G

"G" Stampers on both sides, and a Factory Sample / Promo issue, make this one of the first small handful of this issue ever pressed.

Sleeve. - Very Good Plus.  85/100
A nice front surface, with no ink loss or disc impression, a little grubby on the back, but the pictures do look a bit worse than it really is.
The spine is in very good order, and fully readable. - see pics

Inner Sleeve - Very Good Plus 85/100
Other than some light creasing, the inner sleeve is in new condition. - see pics.

Vinyl Record - Very Good.  79/100 - (conservative - borderline VG+)
Very light markings on close inspection, with a couple of faint angel hairs, the playback has superb audio, with an occasional very light tick.
There are large areas of NM playback(85%approx),
Some small areas of Excellent (14% approx) really faint ticks, these are so faint that my Transient Noise Eliminator does eliminate them (if I switch it on, as I do not use it for play testing)
And only a couple of tiny areas of VG (1% or less) - we are talking 2 or three genuine ticks - and there is only 1 revolution on this record that has more than One tic on it (faint or otherwise), and that revolution has 2 light ticks.

Even though this record has some small areas of light ticks, the audio is as good as you are ever likely to hear, given it is probably one of the first dozen ever pressed - it is still a magnificent record)

Very Good means Very Good.

Labels - Excellent   90/100
Side One has the Factory Sample Sticker, that is also in magnificent condition. - see pics

                     A few words about condition.










Grade & 
score out of 100

                                           GRADING
Mint is a Rigid Band - The next Four Grades are all Narrow Bands, that slightly widen as the condition gradually deteriorates - Good is still Good, but there is a rapid widening of the Grade Bands, as the condition deteriorates over the last Four grades.

MINT
100
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Only graded on records that are sealed or clearly unplayed.
 
NEAR MINT
97 to 99        

EXCELLENT
90 to 96
The record shows virtually no signs of having been played,  there is no lessening in sound quality.
The cover and  packaging might have the slightest of tiny defects.
 
The record shows some slight signs of having been played, but there is very little, (if any) lessening in sound quality.
The cover and  packaging might have very slight wear. 
 
VERY GOOD PLUS
80 to 89

VERY GOOD
69 to 79
The record shows signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality.
The cover and  packaging might have slight wear, light creasing.

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.
Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects.
This is an above average used record, that has been well looked after.




GOOD
56 to 68
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated, but the record will still play through, and it will not be a completely unpleasant listening experience, even at the bottom of this grade (56).
The cover and contents may suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. 




FAIR
41 to 55
The record is still playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even stick, skip or jump.. This is starting to be an unpleasant listening experience at the top of the grade (55) and will not be a pleasant listening experience at all by the end of it (41).
The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced. 
 
POOR
25 to 40
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc.
The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing. 
 
BAD
0 - 24
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
The Sleeve is non existent (0) or what is left, is only just recognisable.
