This particular item is well looked after. This is the Second Pressing. That said there will be the usual marks on the record sleeve.  Also there will be some hairline marks with the record.  Please understand this is not a new reissue but the original pressing so it is more 20 years old.
If you can't accept those condition please don't buy and hoping to have partial refunds because it is described here.

It's time to dislodge my massive collection of records I collect all these years. I have to call it a day after losing my hearing. There are more than 2000 records comprising Classical, Rock and Rock, Folk, Jazz and Pop music. They are mostly the first pressings or second pressing from the era, not the recent reissues which suffer from wrapping and bad sound quality.
