CONDITION VINYL

RECORD LABEL The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  VISUAL CONDITION  Most of these 60s/70s LPs are played into submission or badly marked or scratched, and almost unplayable or are in a sorry state.This one is NOT!!! The vinyl is visually SUPERB with highly polished, glass like surfaces,very similar to mint vinyl. Virtually unmarked under ordinary light!!! Closer inspection under a strong light one can observe only a few of very lght surface marks and hairlines and only a VERY few of the lightest 'in-out' paper marks only visible under EXTREME light!!!! BECAUSE SIXTIES VINYL WAS MADE SO WELL IT PLAYS WITH NO SIGNIFICANT DEFECTS - SKIPS, JUMPS OR CLICKS!!!   The visual must grade Excellent if not better!!!! 

SOUND QUALITY  There is a superb folk rock sound and great audio clarity on this original album,  and then maintaining a high standard of audio throughout with superb resonance and 'fat' tones, while still revealing crystal clarity and sharpness in the top end and mid-range - simply fantastic!!! The record plays SENSATIONAL with NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss, NO pops, it has only a touch of BARELY AUDIBLE static crackle and only a VERY LIGHT background sound audible only on Side Two - 1st track but absolutely NO INTRUSIVE!!! Certainly nothing that detracts from the overall IMPRESSIVE sound quality of the album. It plays simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!! The audio quality is just AMAZING!!! The complete record plays top on all  frequencies!!! VERY VERY clear and deep sound!!!  Only the 1st pressing have this top audio quality!!! Plays 100% flat without any skips or sticks!!!  The sound quality must grade Excellent if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! Graded STRICTLY to the UK Record Collector grading standards.
