Description: THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1962 1ST PRESSING ON THE BLACK CHESS LABEL WITH SILVER PRINT #CHESS LP-1465 RECORDED IN HIGH FIDELITY! "SHELDON" IS STAMPED INTO BOTH SIDES OF THE DEAD WAX WHICH GENERALLY INDICATES AN EARLY 1ST PRESSING! VISUALLY, THE 62 YEAR OLD THICK VINYL DEEP GROOVE PLATTER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION! I HAVE EXAMINED THIS UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT AND SEE THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL SLAB OF VINYL HAS RETAINED MUCH OF ITS ORIGINAL DEEP LUSTER...PLENTY OF SHINE HERE! I DO SEE SOME EXTREMELY LIGHT PAPERS SCUFFS & HAIRLINES (MOSTLY THE SWIRLY VARIETY) NOTHING DEEP ENOUGH TO BE FEEL-ABLE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF POSSIBLY A PORTION ON A COUPLE OF SMALL LINES. NOTHING HOWEVER NOTHING THAT WOULD EFFECT THE OUTSTANDING LISTENING EXPERIENCE! THE LABELS ARE VERY NICE AS WELL! BOTH LABELS ARE FREE FROM TAPE OR STICKERS. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME INITIALS IN BLACK IN THE BLACK PORTION ON 1 SIDE. BASED ON THE ABOVE I FEEL THE VINYL DESERVES A GRADE OF EX- (MINUS) THE COVER PRESENTS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL! THERE IS NO WRITING ANYWHERE! THE SEAMS ARE VERY TIGHT AND UNSPLIT. THERE IS A TINY PIECE OF CLEAR TAPE TO THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER TO WARD OFF A POTENTIAL SPLIT. THE SPINE UN-SPLIT AND SUPER TIGHT! IT IS PERFECTLY READABLE. THERE IS LITTLE TO NO RING/SHELF WEAR EVIDENT TO EITHER SIDE. THERE IS SOME BUBBLING OF THE SLICK THAT CAN BE NOTICED ON THE FRONT SIDE. THE COLORING I S VERY VIBRANT AND THE WHITE BACKGROUND AND LINER NOTES ARE EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN! THERE IS SOME MINOR DISCOLORATION ALONG THE MOUTH ON THE REVERSE SIDE. THE COVER EASILY GRADES EXCELLENT! I HAVE PLAY GRADED THIS AND THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS INCREDIBLE! THERE WAS SOME EXTREMELY MINOR NOISE HERE AND THERE. A FEW SOFT TICS MOSTLY IN THE QUIET PASSAGES BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING I WOULD SAY WAS DISTRACTING IN EVEN THE SLIGHTEST WAY! THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE WAS EX++ TO NRMT- THERE WERE NO SKIPS, STICKS, POPS, HISSES, CLICKS, TICKS OR BURPS! OVERALL CONSIDERING ALL OF THE ABOVE, I FEEL THIS LP DESERVES A GRADE OF EX!
