RECORD COMES IN A 'HI-GRADE' MFSL PVC INNER SLEEVE (FOR PROTECTION)

CONDITION OF THE RECORD:

(IMPORTANT NOTE: We grade ALL records under a strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight).

• WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT (VG++). This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is a 'borderline' and we grade it VG++. CAUTION>The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR-MINT. Please do not misunderstand what you are about to read. The vinyl here is beautiful and we see no real surface marks AT ALL when viewed in regular light. However, under a very 'bright light' we see many small 'sleeve-scuffs'. Because of these very light, superficial 'scuffs' and the following imperfections, the grade of VG++ is given...

I have been asked (by a Community member who will remain nameless) to specifically grade each cuts 'quietness' down to the 'dead wax' between cuts; here's his question to me, "I'm worried about how loud the surface noise (between songs), pops, and ticks on the record?" ....I will give it my best shot!...

(the word 'GREAT!' means 'NO NOISE HEARD'...)

Side 1:

Beginning 'dead wax'..........GREAT!

End - Cut 1 into Cut 2........GREAT!

End - Cut 2 to Cut 3...........GREAT!  

Beginning Cut 3..................CAUTION> I see a very light, VERY THIN, 'gray running line' (DOES NOT run the perimeter, just a portion)...........Maybe 1-3 scattered light tics ~ many may not hear this...

End - Cut 3.........................(maybe 1 tic) - many may not hear this

End - Cut 3 into Cut 4........GREAT! 

End - Cut 4.........................Maybe 1 light tic in soft passage ~ many may not hear this.

Side 2:

Beginning 'dead wax'..........GREAT!

End - Cut 1 into Cut 2........GREAT!

End - Cut 2 to Cut 3...........GREAT!

 Beginning Cut 3.................'Maybe' some very light surface noise ~ beginning only  (many may not hear this)...then, 1/10th (at most) of Cut 3's beginning; some very light, scattered tics  (a few) ~ many may not hear this.

End - Cut 3 into Cut 4........GREAT!

End - Cut 4.........................GREAT!

End - Cut 4 into Cut 5........GREAT!

End - Cut 5.........................GREAT!

Also asked; "the matrix numbers" (both sides);

Side 1; STA * 691671-L     MR (circled)  AT (* under scored)   (TRIANGLE SIGN) 14158  (6)

Side 2; STA * 691672-L     MR (circled)  AT (* under scored)   (TRIANGLE SIGN) 14158 - X VV (* under scored)

Also asked; "our packaging methods";

Vinyl is removed from the Cover and placed in a special protective 'HI-GRADE' MFSL PVC INNER SLEEVE'. Then both vinyl and Cover are bubble wrapped and placed in an ultimate LP mailer box. Then securely wrapped in brown butcher paper to be mailed. We have NOT 'broken' or 'lost' a record yet!

The record is pressed on a beautiful high quality, thick, inflexible vinyl, which is used for first or very first early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, bright and rich in quality.

• Quality speaking, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior digital recording!! 
• Record comes in Original 1969 'inner-sleeve'. 

CONDITION OF THE 'GATEFOLD' COVER:

COVER IS EXCELLENT OR GRADED AS STRONG VG++

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

• Cover shows the very smallest of ring impression (many will not see this). On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring impression wear as a <1 (back only).  
•  
• Cover shows very MINIMAL tip corner wear (many will not see this); on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of tip wear as a <1.  
•  
• Cover (cellophane), shows little wear; few small tears, little surface dust/dirt marks with few cellophane surface scratches. Please see pictures below.

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS FOUND ON COVER

• NO (real) CORNER WEAR
• NO (real) RING IMPRESSION
