 Visual & Play Near Mint Plus

Mastered at STERLING by outstanding engineer Lee Hulko 

"1-A" Matrix etch - sides A & B 

LP: (Graded) Near Mint Plus, according to Goldmine record grading definitions. This record grades as an LP that appears to either have been just opened or possibly handled or played once only in the most cautious manner possible. 

The only small flaw separating this from the next grade up, Mint Minus, is a very small, completely superficial, what I would describe not so much a scuff. but as a smudge above the playing surface on Track 1, Side B. It has zero effect on tracking / playback as further outlined in the Play Grading description below. 

Outside of that, the LP looks untouched, including no spindle trails or marks on the labels. The plating surface and labels are pristine with as new glossiness. The LP is exceptionally clean and turntable ready. 

Play Grade: Near Mint Plus / Mint Minus   

- this pressing is spectacular sounding - detail, imaging, dynamics and stereo separation. The quietness of digital and the richness of analog. The absence of surface noise both during and between tracks, rivals Compact Disc quietness, which is particularly important with a recording such as this with various passages that are acoustic and sparsely accompanied. Rates a 9.8 minimum on the below scale: 

Cover: (Graded) Near Mint  - the slightest indications of shelfwear.  All solid seams and fully legible spine printing. Retains original issue Polydor catalog innersleeve.
