Description: For sale is a vinyl record by Julio Iglesias titled Momentos, originally released in 1982 by Discos CBS International. This record was made at the pressing plant of CBS International located in Miami, Florida with a gate-fold presentation. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is machine stamped "Criteria MF", followed by the matrix numbers A-2/B-2, indicating that this record was mastered at Criteria Recording Studios of Miami, Florida before early stampers were used to press this album. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put the album into an archival inner sleeve. Doing this protects the integrity of vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may have come with the release. There is no original inner sleeve with this listing. The cover is graded as Very Good Plus because of corner blunts, edge rubs and a large color fleck and three very small ones on the front cover. The spine has color loss at the corners from these blunts and along the edges from rubs. The vinyl is visually graded as Near Mint Minus with shiny and bright surfaces with a smudge on Side One (Cara A), but without any surface scratches or spindle marks on the labels. I'm play grading this record as Near Mint Minus with only one pop on Side One (Cara A) and two pops on Side Two (Cara B). This album plays all the way through without skips or surface noise. This is still one of the best copies of this hard to find record. You would be hard pressed to find a copy in this condition, especially a Criteria, Mike Fuller pressing. I have more Latin albums, as well as records of all genres in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
