Condition : -
You will be very pleased to know that this is a low mileage one owner copy. If you don't wish to buy it straight away, you may be hanging on for some years to find another as good as this! The sleeve is a unique pink 'flamingo' tinted UK-only design & is fully laminated with secure flipbacks. The condition is mouth-watering. There is the usual bit of age yellowing creeping in at the edges, as anyone who owned jazz records from this period tended to keep their tobacco close to hand, but this is mild. Otherwise there are just a few minor pinch marks at the corners of the laminate, which shows some natural lift in its farthest reaches. Very nice indeed, & what a joy to see in the flesh!
The heavyweight vinyl is impeccably clean & plays through beautifully & to an Excellent standard. Under close scrutiny, there are a few ever-so minor spindle marks by the centre hole & a couple of very faint paper scuffs but that is all. Playback is exceptional with no distortion or surface interference.
Do not hesitate on this one. I don't think we'll see another ANY time soon...!
