Description
This listing
Record visually in EX+ condition: a few light marks only visible in bright light. Play testing reveals big tasty sonics and a loud pressing. Crisp and full. Occasional light pops heard in quiet sections. Like new luster. Outer sleeve only VG with light corner wear, light crease on top left front, and previous owner name on back in pen. Great color, no warping. Heavy wear on bottom edge, no split. Please see photos and ask any questions.

My Vinyl Philosophy
Some sellers rely solely on "visual grading", hiding the fact that even though a record looks pristine, it may sound terrible. Records that I review are play-tested and their sonic qualities described. I won't list pressings which sound muted in any range, compressed, or that are just not recorded "hot" enough. Those with significant noise will be listed only if the record or performance is rare.
As most collectors know, even identical pressings can sound different. Even a brand new record may have defects. Even renowned issues like the original Columbias, Mercury Living Presence and DG 'tulip' pressings can sound as bad as a budget label. That's why I play-test everything I list.
Please see my feedback and ask any questions. Records are cleaned thoroughly with distilled water and a clean microfiber before play-testing. Condition will improve, of course, with a professional cleaning.
