Description
THIS IS A TRUE 1st PRESSING WITH ALL THE INDICATORS (RVG, EAR, ADDRESS and "A-1/B-1" Etchings). LET'S NOT FORGET THE THICK, HEAVY, HIGH-GLOSS LAMINATED JACKET-see pics. THE MEDIA IS SUPER with ONLY A COUPLE LIGHT, WISPY, VERY SUPERFICIAL LINES. HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE "FEEL-ABLE" SCUFF THAT RUNS ON A STRAIGHT LINE AT 3 O'CLOCK ON SIDE ONE. IT IS AN INCH IN LENGTH AND BEGINS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 2nd SONG "Where You At?" and ENDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE THIRD CUT "Without You". I PLAYED BOTH CUTS SEVERAL TIMES. THERE IS NO REPETITIVE CLICK or AUDIBLE ISSUE, WHATSOEVER. AFTER LISTENING TO THIS SECTION THREE TIMES I DID SOME LIGHT CRACKLE DURING THE SILENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SONGS and AT THE VERY QUIET ONSET OF "Without You". DESPITE IT ALL THE RECORD PLAYS JUST GREAT. THE JACKET HAS A FEW SMALL BROWN SPECKLED STAINS ON THE COVER and A BROWN SCRATCH MARK THAT RUNS, IN THE UPPER RIGHT SECTION, FROM THE "O" IN THE WORD "SCOPE" TO THE SMALL ARCHIVE TAG-see pic #11. JUST ABOVE THE TAG IS THE BEGINNING of A SPLIT, ON THE TOP SEAM, FROM THE MOUTH (Less Than a Half Inch). AGAIN, THIS IS 1/2 an INCH ON THE TOP SEAM ONLY-see pic #11. BOTTOM SEAM AND SPINE ARE COMPLETELY INTACT. THE OTHER THREE CORNERS ARE NICE -TWO ARE SHARP AND THERE IS A BIT OF "FUZZ" ON THE LOWER LEFT (Bottom of Spine). THERE ARE TYPED ARCHIVE TAGS on THE LABELS AND on THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE JACKET (They are half the size of a "fingernail" and very professionally applied)-see 3rd, 4th and Last pic.
