Joshua Fit The Battle bw/ Known Only To Him

RCA Victor 447-0651 WLP

I try to grade as accurately and with as much detail as possible. I will mention any flaws that I find, as no record is absolutely perfect! I play graded the 45 from start to finish on a modest high end system. Playgrade is near mint.  I playgraded using a Benz Glider, Nottingham Horizon SE turntable w/ SAMA, Rega RB 600 tonearm, VanAlstine Transcendence 5 pure vacuum tube preamp, MacCormack DNA-1 amp w/ Platinum upgrade, and Bower & Wilkins DM-604 speakers. Biwired with Audioquest Mammoth on low end  and Audioquest live wires on upper end. Granite Audio Silver interconnects, Incognito tonearm wiring, and Express Heavyweight counterbalance, and a Ringmat Mark III platter.
 Vinyl is absolutely superb and appears to have hardly been played. Visually the vinyl grades a strong m- in daylight with only a few light fingerprints. (Some people might grade this record NM) . Vinyl still retains a very nice black gloss. Under a bright halogen bulb you can see no marks. Label grades NM- on Known side, vg+ on Joshua side (Radio station stamp) no hand writing or tears to  either label.  Record sleeve grades VG+, with some beginning ring wear ofc. a few tears on the opening, and the corners are bumped.
 
Record will be shipped in strong mailer with LP or 45 & cover seperated to prevent from damage to cover. I will also pack with cardboard stiffeners for extra protection. I will ensure that this record is packed very carefully.
