Rare LP copy of Ali Farka Toure African Blues on Shanachie Records from 1990 catalog 65002 Great music from the unparalleled guitarist / singer from Mali

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!

Nice clean copy! Record has a few light marks but none of the marks have any effect on the play! HOWEVER, for some reason the record skips for a few seconds on the first track right when the vocals come in, and then again very very briefly for one moment on the third and one moment on the fourth track. Very very brief skips again on one part of the first track and one part of the 2nd track of side 2. Its very odd, because I see no marks in those areas, the disc is NOT warped at all. VERY frustrating - - perhaps it is one my turntable? I would have visually graded this record VG+ but in this case the play test shows different results, although all the interuptions are the same and all last only a split second.....Otherwise plays perfect

 I have seen other copies of this record listed with similar flaws, so perhaps it is a manufacturing error?

Sleeve has hole punch, one lightly creased corner, light wear to other corners and edges.

I can provide audio samples of the skips for anyone interested...
