Played just a couple of times with extreme care on quality equipment, the sound quality throughout is totally flawless. Our careful play-check at volume detected no evidence of any groove/playwear or crackle - even on the quieter and innermost tracks. Nor are there any ticks, clicks or any audible issues on or between any of these fantastic tracks. You won't find a better sounding 1st pressing mono.
