Here I have the very very hard to find stenblomma 1973 LP in vg+ condition. for the cover see pictures. side 1 plays EX. Side 2 has little hairlines on B1+B2 that cause some scraping and ticks and a couple of pops.

I played this with an OC9XSL stylus and a VM540. on the VM540 practically all I heard with it was little ticks at the end of B1 and the beginning of B2. so all the defects of this record are much more exaggerated with higher end styli. overall this record still plays great and I've vacuum cleaned it personally.
