Labels are clean and showing light spindle marks around the centre hole. Surfaces are clean with strong gloss. On closer scrutiny against natural light and under lamp you can see some light wispy contact hairlines or some faint'invisible' paper rubs along with occasional minor feeble surface scratch that does not break the surface and cannot be felt with fingertips. There is a short scuff at the end of SIDE A that does not break the surface and cannot be felt with fingertips which plays over without notice. As far as actual playback goes - pretty solid throughout, you can expect some light general background'vinyl' presence as you might well expect from a used record from the late 60's!
This is not close to overpowering or (objectively) overly intrusive even during the most softest passages of music but please remember this is not a digital stream or CD so some light presence throughout is acceptable. The records play through well with a strong and bright overall sound, without any clipping or frequency distortion on the higher vocal or guitar frequencies. The bass sounds deep and full and mid range filling it all out nicely. You might experience an occasional run of clicks or an infrequent pop.
Overall a nice original example of this classic album, with some light general cosmetic and audible signs of previous use and age. Outer sleeve is fully intact showing some light general age and shelf wear. Spine text is legible, spine and edges without splits. Some light general discolour and a few light marks and such.
Black inners are included which also have general signs of age and use and one is split almost entirely down the side. Poster insert is in once piece however becoming a little fragile with some panel edges splitting, some light creasing and discolour but still resembling the original article. All four pictures of the band are included and are glossy with bright colours and just a little minor foxing. Includes the white spacer sheet. Striving for a top quality all-round service for each customer. Attentive and conservative use of the standard'Record Collector' grading terms. Records are played in part and visually inspected under strong light. A professional record cleaning machine is used where needed to remove any dust, lint or fingerprints. Despite some light signs of use and storage that can be found with previously owned vinyl records; that vary to some degree - only items that look and sound great are listed. / CSS Rules used when query matches /.
