Barcode and Other Identifiers

• Matrix / Runout (Runout side A, etched): PRES-16-3-A RVG AB
• Matrix / Runout (Runout side B, etched): PRES-16-3-B RVG AB
• Matrix / Runout (Runout fragment side A+B, stamped): RVG

LP is VG+, with light scuffs and light scratches on either side. Matrix info matches info provided above. Interiors labels are clean with a deep groove on either side, with the W. 50th St, NYC address on each side. Interior labels are white. LP retains a nice gloss. Because my turntable does not play at 16 RPM, I can't properly test this LP. However, I have played the first song on either side at 33 1/3 RPM. The first side played through with no problems. The second side had a couple of skips. I can not observe any scratches in the affected area - I can only assume that it is either a result from the improper speed or that the LP needs a professional cleaning. Visually assessing this LP, I can not see any scratches that in my opinion would cause a skip.

Jacket is VG+, with several seam splits. There is a split in the center of the bottom seam roughly 6 inches long. There is a split at the top of the spine about half an inch long. There is a split at the top front right corner that travels toward the spine about half an inch. All seams show light wear. All corners show wear. Front of the jacket retains a nice gloss. Back of the jacket shows some discoloration, along with an ink stamp in the top right corner (see photos). The West 50th Street address appears at the bottom of the back of the jacket. Does not include original inner paper sleeve - LP is house in a plain white inner sleeve. Don't miss this rare gem!
