Item Description

Marvin Gaye – Trouble Man (Tamla – T-322L)

Pressing features: 1st Original U.S. Press, 1972, Stereo, Gatefold

Vinyl Record grade: VG - record shows visible signs of regular play, including scuffs and hairlines, but it plays through without skips. There is some surface noise—clicks, crackle, and light fuzz—most noticeable in quieter passages and at track edges.

Note: a small area of persistent grime/staining remains despite dedicated cleaning; it causes occasional crackles but no major scratches and does not overpower the music. Not VG+, but a solid, enjoyable play copy for anyone looking for an affordabe option.

Cover/Jacket grade: VG+, jacket is clean and has vibrant artwork. Super faint ring wear on top of jacket (see photo). Light shelf wear, very slightly rounded edges. Jacket is attractive and fully intact with no splits or writing and a strong spine. Very respectable.
