Description

This record has been cleaned using my Okki Nokki record cleaning machine and then placed in a brand new poly-lined inner sleeve (the original inner sleeve has been retained and included in the listing - see photo). Please note that there may be some dust/hairs on the record from playgrading and also taking photos for the listing.
Main Sleeve:
As you can see in the photos, a bit of the artwork has come off in a few places on the front cover.
Inner Sleeve:
The inner sleeve is in great condition. there are no seam splits but there is a little wear along parts of the edges/corners.
Record:
PLEASE NOTE! I have play tested this record using a Funk Firm F5 tonearm & a AT120E cartridge (tracking at 1.4g). Your setup might produce different results so just take the following as a rough guide.
Side A (EMD 1047 A - 1 - 1 - 1 D):
1. Has some very occasional light crackle during the song, the outro also has some which is a bit louder. 2. The intro has some light crackle but the rest of the song plays perfectly. 3. I think I heard one quiet pop but it was hardly noticeable, played perfectly after that. 4. Has a bit of light crackle and the ending moments of the song give off around 8 or 9 pops. 5. Has pops until the vocals kick in (around 15), plays without faults after that. 6. 1 pop during the intro with the odd bit of light crackle near the beginning of the song, plays perfectly thereafter.

Side B (EMD 1047 B - 1 - 1 - 1 D):
1. Has some very quiet noise near the beginning, 3 or 4 pops during the outro 2. There are numerous pops throughout (around 24) with 3 of them being quite loud. Also has some outro noise. 3. Perfect 4. Perfect 5. Near perfect (tiny bit of very light crackle) 6. Near perfect (tiny bit of very light crackle)
Most of the distortion is during some intros and outros, B2 was the only time that I was bothered with it but it did play quietly at numerous points in the song.
Visually: (held under a strong light)
Both sides have quite a lot of hairlines and the outer edges also have some kind of smudge marks (not fingerprints).
Packaging:
I will package the record in a very sturdy box (medium parcel) using stiffeners,bubble wrap and newspaper to help protect it. The record sleeve and vinyl will also be separated and placed in a heavyweight protective sleeve. It will be posted first class signed for and if you have any questions then please ask and I will do my best to answer!
Thanks
