Vintage 1977 The Hobbit Animated Cartoon Soundtrack LP Record LOTR JRR Tolkien
The record itself looks great and plays very well, it almost looks new to me.  There seem to be some slight defects in the vinyl looking at it, just the way it was originally pressed but I don't see scratches or scuffs and I play tested and it plays well.  The jacket has some wear as shown.  It appears the booklet was glued in at a slightly wrong location and sticks out from the gatefold a bit as shown.  The staples in the booklet have rusted and it the pages are pulling away a bit as shown.  There's also what look like cuts in the back of the jacket where it says hobbit (see pictures).  Overall this is in nice shape for its age and it's hard to tell what was manufacturing issue vs what is damage over the years.  Let me know if you have questions.
