The music is amazing as expected and the vinyl pressing is very good however my copy was dirty straight out of the packaging; covered in a gritty white dust and a a bunch of smears on both the edge and label parts of the vinyl.

I'm not a huge fan of his music in general although his talent and musicianship is without question. However, his legacy is there and this album particularly showcases his fantastic songwriting ability and musicianship. That's why each of our records is first meticulously cleaned and then not just inspected once, but twice, before a sample is play-tested to make sure it sounds as good as it looks. It certainly did, George weaves a personal journey of thoughts, feelings and experiences at various pace lifting heavily from his love of soul music and black artists. M (Mint): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality.I've become used to expecting modern pressings to be stacked with static that takes a long time to dissipate and this is no exception. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. EX (Excellent): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality.

Powerful lyrical content and sparse but devastatingly effective arrangements make this probably my second 'go to' GM LP. Condition - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description). Reading all the negative reactions about this pressing I was wondering what was going on with my copy (which was still sealed).To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
