 Record:

   Side A: Matrix code: 5000A Delta 7158

Side B: Matrix code: 5001A Delta 7158X

IMPORTANT NOTE:  I am a careful, conservative grader.  All my records are graded visually under strong diffuse light, and I play at least a portion of each record to verify the visual grade.  Any known playback issues are clearly identified in the description.  Note that for evaluation purposes, all of my mono records are played on a turntable with a mono phono cartridge in concert with a mono-capable receiver, which in some instances can reduce apparent surface noise.  For the ultimate enjoyment of classic mono pressings, I highly recommend that purchasers of these records do the same.

Visually, the record grades as EXCELLENT/VERY GOOD++.  The surface features full luster and shine, with a fair number of very light scracthes and a light smudge here and there.  The side 2 label shows a bit of wear around the soundhole.

Play grade is also EXCELLENT/VERY GOOD++.  Some very low level surface crackle consistent with what you would expect from the surface appearance is pretty much present throughout, but nowhere does it reach a level that should impede on what overall is a very satisfying listening experience.  The classic mono mixes sound fantastic, and there are very few intrusive audible clicks or pops.

Cover:

I grade the cover as VERY GOOD++, with vibrant colors and no seam splits.

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

·        Light ringwear and overall wear from friction/rubbing; assessed at a 4 in severity on a scale of 1 to 10.

·        A 2" surface gouge near the front cover bottom right corner.

·       Very light top and bottom edgewear.

·       A light sticker removal mark at the top mid-right of the front cover.

·       Some bending of the top left corner and at the midpoint of the front cover opening.

·       Some general yellowing/fading around the edges of the back cover.

·       The name "Tony" written in blue ink on the back cover.
