I am unable to play as I have no 16 2/3 RPM option

However, if you have a Dual 1xxx series turntable, or BSR changer with 4 speeds, this one's for you, although I don't recommend stacking LPs in a changer, or playing it with one of those flip sapphire styluses.

Optimum playback is achieved with a dedicated mono cartridge with a 0.7-1.0 thousandth of an inch conical/spherical stylus tip (like the Ortofon SPU), & should be dead silent with almost zero surface noise when you do.

However any modern "mono" cartridge with elliptical stylus tip will also do well. Best not to use your stereo cartridge & use the "sum" button on your preamplifier/integrated amplifier.

Something like this doesn't come onto the market often.

I price this according to listings of the same on Discogs on Day of listing (April 8, 2023)

This is also the ONLY listing of this title on eBay (USA included), & there are very, very few 16 2/3 RPM LPs for sale on eBay, most are "talking books" for the visually impaired.

Will ship in bubble wrap within sturdy cardboard mailer
