Record Grade VG+ = Very well maintained. Just listened to both sides of the whole album and it plays beautiful. It is from our personal collection. Little to no surface noise at all. A few surface scratches that have no effect on music. Difficult to find this rare vintage mono recording in such nice condition. (see pictures)
