I have owned this record from new since 1979. It has been played twice only by stylus, once to listen to it, and once to record it to my Nakamichi cassette deck, on a high-end system, and a few times on my ELP laser deck (no contact replay system, see photo).Vinyl - Near Mint Sleeve - Near Mint
The records have been cleaned on my Keith Monks record cleaning machine.
