Description

I am the original purchaser of this record, but never listened to it much.  When we switched over to CDs my record collection was rarely played.  In fact, I bought a Audio-Technica AT-LP60-USB turntable thinking I would copy all my records to CDs.  I never did.  


Anyway, I'm getting old and cleaning house so am looking to sell some of my sought after records.  Detail description below.
