Condition:
Mine from new. Originally obtained nearly 50 years ago direct from Warner Brothers records promotional department as a pre-release review copy. The white label pre-release promo test pressing LP is in immaculate Near Mint condition, having only been played 2 or 3 times at most from new. Having just played the LP I can report that the sound quality is superb. The white labels are clean and unmarked. The album come housed in its original poly-lined inner sleeve. The fold-out proof sleeve has a few light marks, mild creases and a couple of tiny edge tears, otherwise is in excellent condition.
All items are from my personal collection. Most are in excellent condition given their age.
Please feel free to ask any questions via eBay.
The record will be very well packed for safe and secure transit.
