from a wonderful collection of rare vinyl, often in remarkable condition, that we has just been kindly donated. we will be putting it on e-bay over the next week or so!
~sleeve is G- (spine has worn away all the way down, also a 2 inch tear on bottom seam. however, looks good, with just a little discolouration - see photos)
record is VG- (some surface noise throughout which ranges from moderate to barely noticeable. would probably be mostly removed with a proper clean. a little distortion, but this is more likely due to the quality of recording/pressing than any damage. no real marks at all. vinyl looks quite well played, but very well looked after!)
low starting price and no reserve!!!~
