Description

MOUNTAIN 'NANTUCKET SLEIGHRIDE' 1971 ISLAND PINK RIM LABEL ILPS-9148            

THE SECOND ALBUM BY MOUNTAIN, A LESLIE WEST/ FELIX PAPPALARDI CREATION, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY EARLY UK PRESSING ON THE ISLAND LABEL AND NEEDS TO BE PLAYED ACCORDING TO THE ALBUM COVER INSTRUCTIONS 'PLAY THIS RECORD AT HIGH VOLUME FOR MAXIMUM SONORITY...LOUD!'!! A CLASSIC LATE 60's/EARLY 70's ROCK SOUND! THE VINYL IS A STERLING SOUNDS LEE HULKO MASTER CUT.

THE GATEFOLD LAMINATED OUTER SLEEVE HAS NO RIPS ETC, ALL EDGES ARE EXCELLENT WITH SPINE TEXT READING WELL. A LITTLE SHELF WEAR TO CORNERS AND A SOME CREASING/SHELF WEAR TO LAMINATE, INSIDE COVER IS VERY GOOD WITH JUST A LITTLE AGE RELATED GRUB AND A NAME PENNED ON THE TOP  RIGHT CORNER,  LOOK AT THE PICS TO JUDGE FOR YOURSELF THE GENERAL CONDITION, I RECKON A VG+. 

THE  VINYL IS CLEAN AND SHINY AND RUNS FLAT ENOUGH. A FEW HAIRLINES WHICH DON'T EFFECT PLAY. EXCELLENT REPRODUCTION.  RUNOUTS MARKED SIDE A: ILPS 9148A- 1U STERLING LH/RL AND SIDE B: ILPS 9148B 1-U STERLING LH/RL. PLAYED EXCELLENTLY

THE  LABELS ARE  CLEAN WITH NO MARKS OR WRITING, ALL THE TEXTS READS PERFECTLY AND THE COLOURS GOOD. THERE HARDLY ANY SPINDLE MARKS EVIDENT.  THE SPINDLE HOLE  IS TIGHT. 

HAS THE ORIGINAL UNPUNCHED POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE WITH ISLAND LOGO HAS A SMALL SPLIT TOP CORNER OTHERWISE EXCELLENT.

SO ACCORDING TO THE GRADING BELOW I RATE THE SLEEVE VG+, THE VINYL EX

"MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplaced should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler."

 I  TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ITEM DESCRIPTION IS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE HOWEVER GRADING VINYL IS SUBJECTIVE. I GRADE ON THE BASIS THAT THERE WILL BE A DEGREE OF BACKGROUND NOISE AND THE OCCASIONAL POP, PARTICULARLY ON THE QUIET SECTIONS, BETWEEN TRACKS AND FADE INS/OUTS.SUCH NOISE WILL NOT MEAN A DEGRADING OF QUALITY RATING.
