AKSAK [AQSAK] MABOUL?Onze Danses Pour Combattre La Migraine?'81 vinyl LP VG+/VG+

$

30

From my personal collection, this is a hard-to-find 1981 reissue of the 1977 classic on Crammed Discs, Belgium.  I bought this used in about 1985, I think.  The vinyl is play graded solid VG+, with just a little minor surface noise here and there; I listened to this in its entirety recently, and it sounded great!  There is a "LAST" sticker on one side of the record which has half-way come off (see photo).  This is an indication that the record was treated witht he Last System, a boutique vinyl preservation system popular in the mid '80s.  Did it work?  Don't know, but THIS record sounds decent 30+ years later!

The cover is also VG+, with a stain of some sort that seems to have reacted with the laminate.  Beyond that, there is some visible creasing and minor edge/spine/corner wear.  Still a great looking and sounding copy, though: please see the hi-res photos for the general lay of the land.  I need to clear out some space, so this gem is in search of a new home.  And be sure to check out my other items!
