JOHN COLTRANE
GIANT STEPS LP
VINYL
WOW - WHAT A COPY. A SEALED COPY ASIDE, IT WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A BETTER PLAYING EXAMPLE OF COLTRANE'S LEGENDARY LANDMARK ALBUM.
LOVELY FIRST PRESS HEAVYWEIGHT LONDON VINYL A STRONG EX++ WITH AN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB AUDIO. LOUD, CLEAR AND DYNAMIC, FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE PLAYBACK ALMOST A PERFECT AUDIO ON MY LINN. THIS IS OF COURSE A DECCA DEEP-GROOVE PRESSING, AND THE MONO MIX SOUND QUALITY IS AS GOOD AS YOU'D IMAGINE. ONLY POINTS TO NOTE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL POPS IN THE RUN-IN GROOVES ON SIDE ONE (NOT THERE WHEN THE MUSIC STARTS), AND THE TINIEST SPARKLE/STATIC TOWARDS THE END OF THE SIDE, BUT I'M BEING PICKY HERE - MANY SELLERS WOULDN'T MENTION ANY OF THIS, AND THE AUDIO THROUGHOUT IS SIMPLY STUNNING. CAREFULLY AND SPARINGLY PLAYED - LOVELY CLEAN VINYL WITH JUST SOME VERY VERY FEINT STORAGE. A BEAUTIFUL COPY, ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS NOW.
WE PLAY GRADE ON A LINN SONDEK LP12 WITH ITTOK LV II ARM AND LINN KLYDE CARTRIDGE. ALL GRADING AS PER RRPG GUIDELINES. PLEASE SEE OUR 'GRADINGS EXPLAINED' SHOP PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
SLEEVEFRONT LAMINATED ST. JAMES PRESS SLEEVE WITH SCALLOPED FLIP-BACKS A NICE SOLID EX+, THOUGH THE LOVELY SLEEVE FRONT WOULD BE BORDERING ON NR MINT IF GRADED SEPARATELY. THE BACK HAS SOME SMALL SHELF WEAR, SMALL SPLIT TO THE SEAM OF THE TOP FLIPBACK. THE THIN PRESSED SPINE IS SUPERB. A REALLY LOVELY SLEEVE OVERALL, PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAILS. THE VINYL SHIPS IN NEW WHITE POLY-LINED INNER SLEEVE FOR PROTECTION.
LABELS
