"Three Prong Music. All Selections BMI" - "MGM RECORDS - A DIVISION OF METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER, INC. - Made in U.S.A."
THE COVER: General wear many parts of the surface area on the front and back. Dark yellowing around all edges, but still appears rather square. The spine is still quite sturdy, with the print off-center. The banana sticker is intact and wrinkled here and there. At some point in the life of this record the top of the banana was torn, but merely put back into place (have to get close to see the tear).
THE RECORD: There are fingerprints and other slight smudges that will come off with cleaning. Aside from that, there are hairline blemishes here and there, but nothing appears to be an actual "scratch" that would prevent quality listening. Overall, this is still a record in excellent condition.
THE VERDICT: Not the best condition, not the worst condition, but something you don't see every day!
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions (and I apologize for my poor photography!). I'd be happy to provide serious bidders with an attempt at any better pictures that you may want to see of the record.
