EDEN'S ISLAND  1960 Stereo DEL-FI DFST 1211 Dead Wax side 1: DFST-1211-1 RE circle with MR in it, triangle 2946-X Dead Wax side 2: DFST-1211-2 RE circle with MR in it, triangle 2946-X
Eden Ahbez wrote the Nat King Cole hit "Nature Boy".

VINYL: VG no skips, no deep scratches, quite a few mostly surface lines, more lines on side 2 which actually plays better than side 1.

Side 1 has relatively light to moderate crackling & popping throughout. It sounds like you are listening to it next to the the dying, burning, embers 

of a fire. Side 2 has less background & plays a strong VG to VG+. That said, the music always comes through loud and clear on both sides. I've listened

to it a 3 times  today while cleaning & grading it (once just for fun) and I find it quite enjoyable. I'll probably play it once more to record it.

Side 1 plays a steady VG

Side 2 plays a strong VG to VG+

SLEEVE: VG+ a piece of the front sleeve, top right, under the last 2 letters "eo" in the word Stereo was removed probably 

with a sticker. I carefully & invisibly glue repaired a 1" split at the opening of the bottom edge. See the last picture.

Tracklist

NM (Near Mint): Record and cover appear virtually unmarked.

VG++: Will play NM or just short of it. Will have just a very few visual marks.

VG+ : Used but not abused. Will probably have some relatively slight  audible imperfections.

VG : Many mostly surface lines or may have a feel-able scratch that doesn't skip. Background 

sound but still enjoyable. Cover defects will be noted.

VG-: significant background sound from various defects but music always quite audible above it.

G+: I rarely use except on very rare 78's. Still audible but the records value will be in it's collectability

as the sound quality will not be desireable.
