Produced by various Matrix numbers - Side One - A2 Side Two - B2 Please read the record grading guide below and familiarize yourself with the grades used. This 29 year old LP I have graded as being in Excellent- condition. Both sides play well with no jumping, skipping or any other audio horrors. There are the usual minor hairline surface marks that any LP of this vintage, graded xx would accumulate over the passage of time. They are mainly visual and have no real impact on playback, apart from a little bit of low-level and generally non-intrusive surface noise, again, common to any used vinyl, and shouldn't spoil your authentic listening experience!
