https://www.discogs.com/The-Mothers-Of-Invention-Uncle-Meat/release/1178606 The website cites the booklet as having 16 pages but I count 20 on mine. Please do research the matter as you can.
This album has been in my possession for over 10 years but I have never played it so I cannot vouch for it's playability. To my untrained eye the vinyl itself does not have any significant scratches but I am NOT anywhere near an expert in these matters. The album sleeve has some signs of wear & tear (please see pictures). The booklet is in remarkably good condition, most likely because it was kept in one of the inner sleeves.
If you have any questions or need extra pictures please ask. The item will be posted Royal Mail Guaranteed Next Day by 1pm for the UK. For international it will be via Royal Mail International Tracked..
Thanks for looking!
