VINYL
THE VINYL IS VERY HEAVY AND THICK ONLY FOUND ON THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT SHEEN!!!! UNDER VERY STRONG LIGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW LIGHT SLEEVE REMOVAL MARKS/LIGHTEST HAIRLINES AND ONE SCUFF MARK AT SIDE ONE, FROM THE RAW INNER SLEEVE BUT NO SCRATCHES ETC.!!!! SO I GRADED THE VINYL AS EX+++!!! UNBELIEVABLE FOR A RECORD WHO IS 40 YEARS OLD!!!! HARD TO FIND A BETTER ONE!!!
AUDIO
I PLAYED THE COMPLETE RECORD AT VERY LOUD VOLUME!!! THE AUDIO QUALITY IS JUST AMAZING!!!! BOTH SIDES PLAYS WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION!!!! THERE ARE NO LOUD CLICKS OR POPS!!!!! TOP AUDIO SEPERATION ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!!!! I PLAYED TRACK FOR TRACK AND ALL I´VE HEARD WAS A LIGHT BACKGROUND NOISE AND A FEW LIGHT KLICKS (VERY COMMON ON EARLY 70s PRESSINGS) BUT THIS DOES NOT DETRACT FROM THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!!!! ON MY SYSTEME THE COMPLETE RECORD PLAYS NEAR PERFECT/HIGLY ENJOYABLE!!!! IN MY OPINION ONLY THE EARLIEST PRESSINGS HAVE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY!! THE SOUND FROM THIS RECORD IS VERY VIBRANT, CLEAR AND DEEP ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!! PLAYS 100% FLAT WITHOUT ANY SKIPS OR STICKS!!!
