The record shows exceptional care and handling, and the mono playback is impressive. 





THE COVER : EXCELLENT +

EX+ :  Please see photos / laminated / well-stored with some minor scuffing, and a small tear at the center of the front cover (no paper loss) / bright colors / all of the seams, including the spine, are intact / no writing, paper loss, paper tears, dirt, or stains.

The cover (as with the LP) was likely stored in plastic these many decades. Notice the bright white background color on the back, largely free of the age-related yellowing more common with 6 Eye releases from the 1950's.




Included is the original, rounded plastic inner sleeve (please see the photos in our gallery - we have included a photo with the LP in that inner sleeve).        

We have placed the record and the cover into separate, new protective plastic sleeves.
