This is an incredible copy of this extremely rare 1958 LP. 

COVER:
As the photos confirm, this is a great one to be 60 years old!  Some edge and corner wear and tear can be seen.  Note in the photos that there are tears along the bottom and top as well as the spine.  The spine is readable with some cracking and peeling but is mostly intact.  There is some overall wear and fading of the front cover but it is strong, shiny and holds vivid color.  It is noted that the overall color of the front cover is not white, but more of a beige tint.  Not sure if that is what it should look like.  The hype sticker is intact with only a small corner clip visible.  The back side is in top shape as well with no stickers, writing, holes or other demerits visible.  Also the Roulette inner sleeve (some repairable side and bottom splitting) is assumed to be the original.

VINYL:
The record was examined closely under light and there are no visible deep scratches and only minimal storage scuffing.  There is zero evidence of spindle scarring which is truly rare.  Note some minor peeling on the edge of the DG indention on the A side.  The vinyl is so glossy and clean it looks to have had very little play.  We sampled the audio, listening to most of the tracks in their entirety.  The spacing between tracks produced hardly any noise.  This is a really top copy.  Popping and surface noise might be detected but it would be minimal if at all. 

PRACTICES AND POLICIES:
Most records are visually inspected and then washed and cleaned.  Higher valued 45 records will include audio samples of the exact record being listed.  Our photos are also original ones of the exact item.  We describe condition and version to the best of our ability but the seller is not a records grading expert so please inquire in advance for additional details or concerns concerning quality or version of a particular record.  We do not always listen or grade but we do offer as much visible information as possible. We always take multiple clear, close photos and invite questions about quality or version of an item in advance of bidding.  Please await our invoice prior to payment.  This is particularly important with international purchases as the value of the final price effects the method of shipment.  See below.

Our refund policy is based on total buyer satisfaction so we only refund full payment upon return.  We do not offer post purchase partial refunds.   As our listings always include clear photos and audio, the responsibility for return postage is with the buyer.

INTERNATIONAL
A reminder we always comply with Ebay and Customs official policy and code the "value" slot of the Customs Form with the actual purchase price.
