This collection of African 78s came from new deadstock that was sitting in the garage of a former African record store owner for decades.
Almost a flawless N-. There does appear to be either an incredibly slight edge warp, or manufacturing defect (bump) on surface... I can't tell by looking. I didn't notice anything until I dropped the needle, and even then the disc plays totally fine with normal tracking, but I figure it is worth noting for some folks. Includes the sought after original African HMV Blue Label sleeve!
