All the records I am listing come from the original owner who collected them in the 1950's. He had two turntables for both mono and stereo. He recorded his records onto Reel to Reel tape starting in 1956 when the first stereo tape recorders came on the market. I am not a professional record grader but I will try to describe this record as best as I can.

The Cover: There is some shelf wear. No splits. Light corner dings. There is a slight dent on the spine. The record: It looks good. Light scuffing with very light scratches. Labels well centered. Tiny pin point depression on track one of side  B.

I have not tried to clean it.

I offer a 100% refund upon its return if this record does not meet your expectation due to my description.

This is a great opportunity to acquire some rare vintage original records at very reasonable prices.
