Clean, unmarked bales - barely a spindle trace to be seen
VINYL Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both surfaces are clean with just a circular mark in the same position on both sides but this is audibly harmless
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
An absolutely stunning set "captured live on an Ampex stereo cassette fed from a Kelsey Morris custom built mixer ... in the rain from the back of a Volkswagen truck." - a loud, rough, raw and incredibly immediate set with some exceptional sax from Mel Collins and my play-check at very loud volume (as this demands to be heard) found nothing to fault
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
General light wear to the edges/surfaces, nothing unexpected on this matt black sleeve but overall a pretty fine example
