PLAY GRADING.

The entire album plays beautifully, a definite Excellent grading for listening pleasure.

I detected no static, clicks, pops or anything to spoil the reproduction of this mono album.

The Black and yellow Parlophone labels show very little, if any spindle marking.

 

This album was play graded using a Technics SL2000 deck with a Stanton 500 cartridge, set with very little pressure.

 

 

I grade this complete package as excellent, and very rare in this mono format.
