WYSIWYG.....What You See Is What You Get.......one SUPER RARE The Ballad of Smokey the Bear and Other Favorite Animal Songs LP by The Richard Wolfe Children's Chorus, PLAY GRADED & Fully Tested.This record is in great shape. It was play tested from start to finish (on a cheap, manual, unbranded record player I got for twenty bucks new off the internet), from beginning to end.  It sounds great with no skips or jumps.  The record plays Smooth, Loud, & Clear with very little noise. The jacket is a bit rough with wear, writing, and a 3-4" bottom split.  My best guess (see grading  info below) is Jacket=G+   Dust Sleeve=na(new paper)   Record=VG+.  Please read all information in the listing details before purchasing this item,  as it constitutes your acceptance of this item in its listed condition and your agreement to the terms of sale.  
WARNING--Do you want the best for your money?  Ask yourself why the other sellers don't show you the album from ALL angles, including the cover, dust jacket, and vinyl.  With my listings, you really know what you get due to all of the pics.

NOTE:  I am not an expert on grading, but after doing it for 2 years, feel as though I now know what I'm doing. I have had ZERO complaints on my grading in that time.  Also, I have only lost 2 records to damage during shipping. I am very proud of my record and will always strive to get even better.    I also have ZERO experience or knowledge of how to clean records. So, out of fear of damaging the records, I have NOT cleaned them, just dusted them with a soft micro-fiber cloth and distilled water. There may be dust &/or finger prints. I now listen to every record I sell from beginning to end and grade on how it sounds.  After all, the way it sounds is far more important than the way it looks. A record can look NM or VG+ , but skip or otherwise sound terrible. It doesn't matter how good a visual grader you are, it is sometimes just impossible to tell without playing it all the way through. Don't let a lazy seller ruin your day. A record play tested fully is the only way to be sure that you are getting what you paid for, a great record. This album HAS been PLAY TESTED from start to finish on both sides. It plays through with no skips or jumps.
