/ VG- (LISTEN TO SOUNDCLIPS AND READ)
VINYL HAS MULTIPLE HAIRLINES AND SCUFFING ALLOVER - AND SOME OF THE HAIRLINE/MARKS ARE FEELABLE.
HOWEVER THE RECORD DOES PLAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED - NO SKIPS
- THERE ARE CRACKLE THROUGHOUT PLAY BUT MUSIC OVERPOWERS A LOT OF IT.
- THERE ARE NO SERIOUS BIG POPS OR CLICKS. I DETECTED MOST CRACKLE NOISE AT "I CANT QUIT YOU BABY"
- YOU CAN STILL ENJOY THIS RECORD - AT QUIET PASSAGES SUCH AS INTROS, FADEOUTS ETC - CRACKLE CAN BE A LITTLE OBVIOUS.
LABELS HAVE A FEW FAINT MARKS AT CENTER HOLE - MOST VISSIBLE IN DIRECT LIGHT.
LABEL SIDE TWO HAS A FAINT STAIN JUST ABOVE THE "L" IN ATLANTIC.
I VERY MUCH RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHECK SOUNDCLIPS!!!)

CORRECTION : ABOUT THE MATRIX - I HAVE WRITTEN :
"EARLIER ISSUES HAS THE "8" CROSSED OUT AND RE-ETCHED ABOVE"
IT SHOULD SAY "LATER ISSUES HAS THE "8" CROSSED OUT AND RE-ETCHED ABOVE"
THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING WITH THE VERY FIRST MATRIX!!!
