I think it was made in 1954 and is an early example of ffrr (full frequency range recordings).

The record label shows 'Made in England' and WAL-1008.

The inner wax has the following stamp markings:
KWAL-15-1B
KWAL-16-1B

Looking at the record visually, seems to have a few light scratches (that I can't feel if I run my fingers over them) and it has its internal plastic and paper sleeve. I haven't played it so couldn't comment on its oral quality.

I'll post recorded signed for delivery by Royal Mail in the UK unless you need it sent by another service.  Just let me know, I'll work out the cost and then send you a new invoice. Thanks.

No returns as I'm having a clear out.  Please check out my other items.

Thanks for reading!
