Note:
Original Mono pressings of this album are incredibly rare--almost every copy that you'll come across is a reprocessed stereo version. These mono pressings have far superior sound quality to the stereo versions, and are thus very sought after by collectors.
Condition:
The cover is in nice condition, still protected by the original shrink wrap. No ring wear or seam splits, but it does show some age discoloration on the back along the left edge (see photos). Also a light age spot on front upper right corner. Shrink wrap is torn in places, but it seems to be all there.
Grade: Very Good Plus (VG+).
The vinyl is very good, still has much of its original shine. Does have some superficial scratches and hairlines on both sides, but nothing deep or serious--nothing that should cause problems with playback.
Play-Tested:
I've spot tested this record, and when played in the recommended Mono Mode, the sound quality is very good, full-bodied Mono fidelity. Does have some light pressing background noise in the run-in grooves, but it disappears once the music kicks in. Not audiophile perfect, but still a very enjoyable original Mono pressing.
Grade: Very Good (VG)
