Please note: The audio reproduction quality of picture discs, especially of this vintage, is generally poor. The manufacturing process, which sandwiches layers of film, front & back images on special paper, and vinyl, using heat and pressure, often leads to warping. In 1979, when this picture disc was created, it was a novelty item. Today it should be considered a collectable artefact, and not an audiophile quality playback recording.
