Description

This was in a collection of 60’s/70’s records that I acquired a few years ago, sadly many of them had not been looked after and were in too poor a condition to keep.

Due to its rarity I hung onto this one but as I have other copies it’s time to let it go.
Firstly I have spent far too long trawling through the identifying matrices and descriptions on the Discogs release page, as far as I can tell this is a version 5 first pressing which has the 2nd 8 of the stamped matrix scratched out and then etched back in on both sides. The labels have the Superhype/Jewel music credits. If I have mistakenly ID’d this copy please let me know, I don’t want to mislead any potential buyer.

The sleeve has the correct grey stripe on the lower border, there is age related storage and handling wear, the lamination is creased in places, there is corner and edge rubbing and there are various letters indented on the cover if you hold it so light is angled on the cover, otherwise no writing, splits or tears. Please ask if you require more photos.

The inner has been replaced with an antistatic inner.

Playing surfaces have multiple scuff marks and minor scratches, none of them are feelable. Matrices: 588171 (2nd 8 scratched out and hand etched above it on both sides) A//1 B//1

Labels have multiple spindle lines, but no writing.

Playback: side one, no sticks or jumps, plays well with some light surface noise in quiet phases but not obtrusively so. Track 2 has 6 repetitive clicks about midway through the track and one loud pop at the very end of the track.
Side 2, again no sticks or jumps, only some light surface noise in quiet phases that is not obtrusive, overall plays well.

I have tried to be as honest about this record’s faults as possible, If you have any questions after reading this please contact me, I will always respond promptly to any queries. Play tested on a Rega P3 with ND5 cartridge.

Will be packed well for shipping in a recycled good quality mailer.
