The Vinyl is VISUALLY Graded: Vinyl looks VG++, spot-checked sound is faithful to the original source:
Let's face it, these were low-tech, primitive technology field records, so the light, intermittent surface noise is crisper sounding than the actual music; but this IS pure analog vinyl sound. Clean labels WITH that "deep groove"  Cool dark RED clear vinyl pressing.
The original booklet is NOT included, but we've included the link to the official PDF version, with FULL details about each song;
The link is for the OFFICIAL Library of Congress PDF of the booklet, but the track order is slightly different.
