REACTION (594003)
1967
RECORD WEIGHT: 140g
MATRIX Nos: 594003 A-2 / 594003 B//3 (A SIDE ETCHED B SIDE STAMPED)
SLEEVE CONDITION: EX(-)
EDGES TOP & BOTTOM: BOTH EDGES SHOW NO RUBBING OR SHELFWEAR. THERE IS A VERY THIN 2" SPLIT ON THE LOWER EDGE ( DIDN'T NOTICE IT AT FIRST).
SPINE: SOME LIGHT RUBBING DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE SPINE MAKING THE WORDING UNREADABLE. NO SPLITS OR TEARS.
FRONT COVER: HAS THE ODD SMALLISH LIGHT CREASE ON THE COVER BUT NOTHING THAT IS GLARINGLY OBVIOUS. LAMINATE IS COMPLETELY INTACT WITH NO LIFTING. NO OBVIOUS RINGWEAR. OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY FEATHERING. NO RIPS, TEARS, WRITING OR STICKERS. LOOKING VERY NICE FOR IT'S AGE.
BACK COVER: VERY SIMILAR TO THE FRONT. MATT FINISH (NO LAMINATE). JUST A COUPLE OF TINY CREASES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE AND NO RINGWEAR. OPENING EDGE IS STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY FEATHERING. NO RIPS, TEARS OR STICKERS. NAME WRITTEN IN TOP LEFT HAND CORNER BUT NOT OBVIOUS DUE TO THE BUSY DESIGN OF THE ARTWORK. OVERALL, VERY NICE FOR IT'S AGE.
INNER SLEEVE: STANDARD WHITE INNER SLEEVE. NO RIPS, TEARS, SPLITS OR WRITING.
RECORD CONDITION:
TAKING AN INITIAL CURSORY GLANCE AT THE ALBUM IN NATURAL LIGHT, IT LOOKS PRETTY CLOSE TO MINT. A CLOSER INSPECTION SHOWS JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL FAINT SURFACE LINES ON SIDE TWO AND NOTHING ELSE AT ALL. NO SCUFFS OR SCRATCHES WHATSOEVER. UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE IS JUST A FEW FAINT WISPY HAIRLINES AND THE ODD ULTRA FAINT BRUSH TYPE MARK. I WOULD GRADE SIDE ONE AS EXCELLENT PLUS AND SIDE TWO AS EXCELLENT. AN ORIGINAL 1967 PRESSING ON THE BLUE REACTION LABEL WITH SILVER TEXT.
BOTH LABELS ARE EXCELLENT WITH JUST A COUPLE OF SMALL FAINT SPINDLE TRACES ON SIDE ONE AND A FEW LIGHT ONES ON SIDE TWO. NO STICKERS, WRITING OR OTHER UNWANTED MARKS. THE LABELS HAVE THE IMMEDIATE AND APPLE PUBLISHING CREDITS.
PLAYBACK: EXCELLENT PLAYBACK THROUGHOUT WITH NOTHING OF NOTE TO SPOIL THE SOUNDTRACK. BACKGROUND NOISE IS PRETTY MUCH NON EXISTANT AND THERE ARE NO LOUD POPS OR CLICKS AT ALL. THE TRACK CROSSOVERS ARE CRACKLE FREE. THE ONLY THING YOU MAY HEAR IS THE OCCASIONAL SOLITARY TINY STATIC TYPE TICK. ABSOLUTELY NO SCRATCHES OR OTHER AUDIBLE MARKS AT ALL. OVERALL THIS PLAYS THROUGH BEAUTIFULLY WITH CLEAR DISTORTION FREE SOUND. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
SO NICE TO SEE OLD 1960s LPs IN THIS KIND OF CONDITION AS THEY ARE BECOMING HARDER TO FIND.
