Baden Rube Band "Baden Rube Band" 1980 produced by the Canadian Armed Forces off label, but the label itself says Baden-Sollingen Records, so take your pick, BS-001 stereo.  A hard-to-find delight, it's a live recording of a brass band with a long history, one that joined together local German players with Canadian military personnel assigned to the Canadian Forces Base Baden-Soellingen.  The Chicago Symphony brass section they are not (who is?), but they play this fun music very well and are a fine example of international cooperation at the grass roots level--Google their charming story.  Sleeve is nearly perfect, still shiny and good (see photos), with only the lightest abrasion on the bottom edge, an Excellent minus (EX-) sleeve.  Vinyl is also wonderful.  Under a strong lamp you can see some light storage scuff, but it's not affecting the beautiful, nearly perfect playback, a strong Excellent minus (EX-) record.  If you can find a copy cheaper than mine, let me know, and I'll be a monkey's uncle.  Just cleaned with a VPI wet-vac system.  I'll pay the shipping via USPS Media Mail.
