Audio : EXC+ (VG++)

The sound quality is exceptional !

NO skips ; NO clicks ; NO distortion ; NO background noise.

Just 1 TINY repetitive tic (BARELY audible) during about 50 seconds on Track 2 (Side 2) and some small cracklings during the intro of Track 1 (Side 1) and the intro of Track 1 (Side 2). Otherwise superb !

The ballads "Blue In Green" and "Flamenco Sketches" are a pure delight for the ears with such a high quality pressing.

This is the best copy of that release I had the chance to listen (by far).

The audio recording is amazing here wow !!!

Very nice condition !

 

Visual : NM

The vinyl is visually splendid !

This copy has probably been played just once or twice, not more, with care.

NO scratches ; NO hairlines ; NO feelable marks ; NO surface traces (or BARELY visible).

The surface is almost immaculate (just a couple of TINY surface marks BARELY visible under light).

High luster.

Superb condition !
