These performances are imbued with enormous charm and vitality and can withstand the most exalted comparisons – an absolute treat from start to finish.

CONDITION:
The gradations of condition I use are as follows: MINT, Near-Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.
The condition of the jacket is EXCELLENT. There is slight bumping at corners, minor edgewear, and mild discoloration to the rear panel, but that is all. There are no seamsplits, bends, owners’ markings, or other defects and the album remains solid, bright, glossy, and highly attractive in appearance – overall, this rates as an excellent collector's copy.
The condition of the LP itself is near-MINT and playback is superb – overall, this rates as a truly fine collector’s copy.
