Paul Kantner & Jefferson Starship - Blows Against The Empire

1970 first pressing on ~130g vinyl (not DynaFlex) from Indianapolis pressing plant in gatefold sleeve.   RCA Victor release, catalog LSP-4448.  

Sleeve is graded VG Honestly this one is kind of borderline VG/VG+ so we'll grade it VG.  The seams are intact and good, though there is some edgewear.  Color and gloss on front and back are great, inside gatefold in excellent condition.  Just a little ring wear but not that visible.  Front right corners are softened/rounded but left side retain shape.  Includes original insert and custom inner sleeve, but disc will ship in a separate audiophile sleeve.

Vinyl is graded VG.  Visually it is fairly clean, pretty nice to the naked eye and definitely has its share of surface marks under direct bright light, but no serious/deep scratches or anything that would be expected to cause issues.  The labels are flat and in good shape but show a touch of wear.  The disc has been ultrasonically cleaned multiple times and hand clean finished.  Play testing was pretty good and the music was very clean.  There is some static/crackle at places and behind music, hence the downgrade to VG condition, but not significant enough to merit further downgrade.

Overall a nice copy of the first pressing of this album and with the inserts included and in excellent condition!
