USA SAMPLE COPY FIRST PRESSING MONO ALBUM ON DEEP GROOVE LABEL WITH ORIGINAL POLY-BAG INNER SLEEVE.
MATRIX: SIDE A: RVG ADL-6601-A F90P-9344-1 A1 24H SIDE B: RVG ADL-6601-B 24H F90P-9345-1 A1
SLEEVE: VERY GOOD. ONE INCH BOTTOM RIGHT SEAM SPLIT, ONE INCH MIDDLE TOP SEAM SPLIT, SPINE AND EDGE NICKS/SCUFFS, SOME AGE WEAR, CORNER BUMPS, CORNER CREASE, MINOR RING WEAR, PEN MARKS ON REAR AND SAMPLE COPY STAMPS PLUS STAMP WITH LABEL ADDRESS. INNER SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD WITH NO SEAM SPLITS.
DISC: SIDE ONE HAS THREE AREAS OF WISPY LIGHT SCRATCHES, AND SIDE TWO HAS ONE VERY SMALL FOUR REVOLUTIONS SCRATCH ON LOVER MAN . OTHERWISE, BOTH SIDES ONLY HAVE SOME LIGHT HAIRLINES. WE HAVE PLAY-CHECKED THE ENTIRE DISC ON THE REGA RP10, AND ARE PLEASED TO REVEAL THAT IT DOES NOT SKIP, JUMP OR HAVE MUCH IN THE WAY OF SURFACE NOISES. THE AREAS WITH LIGHT SCRATCHES PLAYED-THROUGH WITH A FEW CLICKS AND POPS, BUT NOTHING THAT DETRIMENTAL TO THE MUSIC. THEY CERTAINLY PLAYED FAR BETTER THAN THEY LOOK. OVERALL, THE DISC PLAYS BETWEEN VERY GOOD AND EXCELLENT MINUS. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE DEBUT ALBUM WITH THE USUAL THOROUGHLY ENGAGING VAN GELDER MASTERED AND CUT SOUND. NO BOP OR HARD BOP COLLECTION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS CLASSIC, AND THIS COPY SHOULD SATISFY ANYONE IN SEARCH OF A MORE AFFORDABLE FIRST PRESSING, UNLESS THEY CAN AFFORD OR PREFER TO WAIT FOR A NEAR MINT COPY TO TURN UP. WE NEVER SEE THIS ALBUM NOWADAYS IN ANY CONDITION, AND WE THINK THIS COPY SOUNDS PARTICULARILY GOOD BECAUSE IT IS CLEARLY A VERY EARLY PRESSING OFF THE STAMPERS AS IT IS A SAMPLE COPY .
