LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean labels which carry just light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT
Some marks are visible including two pressing ‘bubbles’, one on “Walking Blues” which has no audible impact and a pin point one on “I’ve Been Down So Long” which causes two clicks as it is passed over, otherwise playback is pretty much flawless
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
Plays beautifully throughout bar the couple of clicks mentioned above - little else to fault - lovely copy of this rare LP - only the second copy I have seen in past 10 years - a strong EX+
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Beautiful condition - crisp, sharp and unworn with a deep gloss to the laminated surfaces - all text on the thin spine is clear and bold
