Michael Hurley & Pals - Armchair Boogie LP RACOON6 (Racoon/Warner Brothers, USA, 1971)
Original U.S. Issue with White Warner Brothers Labels.  No Comic - for some reason, contains the liners for the Folkways LP "First Songs".


Condition (I Grade NM / EX / VG+ / VG / VG- / G / F)

Sleeve - VG+ Front of sleeve looks lovely.  Hardly any ringwear.  Back also nice, but with some light discoloration.  The pasted sleeve spine is crumbling and cracking.  But the rubric (which has sort of folded to the back) is still legible, but a bit worn.  Seams otherwise good, with a little cornerwear.
(note comic is missing - but for some reason contains a copy of the liners for the Folkways LP "First Songs". Inner is EX.

 
Vinyl - VG  The record has signs of play, but has generally been handled carefully.  There are some scuffs, pressing marks and light hairlines mainly noticeable under strong light.  There's a more noteworthy short scratch at the end of English Nobleman (which causes 4-5 clicks).  Otherwise, play is fine with a light crackle throughout (most noticeable in the quietest moments and not too obtrusive), and the occasional odd light click or pop.  It's still a great listen (I'd grade it overall as closer to VG+), though it isn't by any means an unplayed copy.  I feel it needs a thorough clean to get the best out of it.


POSTAGE -2nd Recorded Class Royal Mail - £4.20.  For 1st Class £4.70.
