I just cleaned this album on my VPI 16.5 record cleaner and then played it on my He-Man Rig which consists of a Rega Planar Three with an Ortofon X5-MC cartridge on an RB-300 tone arm with a Valee PA-12B phono preamp / preamp feeding two ArtSound 805 monoblocks.
I have listened to this entire album and It has light to lightly-moderate surface noise audible in quiet passages and barely-audible in voice-level passages. A 7 out of 10. The record looks great, but the jacket looks like someone took a bite out of it a couple of times. Interestingly, the booklet that is supposed to be contained within escaped unscathed.
The original inner sleeve is retained, but the LP is shipped in a modern, anti-static sleeve.
There is no additional shipping charge for additional LPs.
