Vinyl:  The vinyl is clean and shiny for the most part.  There are one or two very faint and sonically inconsequential mark on each side.  There is also a tiny mark at the end of the title track (“Coral Keys”) that provides two audible “ticks” in the last 10 seconds or so of the song as it’s fading.  It’s pretty minor as you’ll hear in the one minute recording that I’ve included  (the ticks are at 34 and 36 second marks).  The rest of the album plays beautifully with no issues.

Cover:  Light rub/ringwear and some discoloration (see photos).  No writing, stickers or seam damage.

I mail on Saturdays (and sometimes mid week, as well).

Please contact me via eBay with any questions and do please check out my other auctions as I have a lot of other nice records up right now. 

Good luck!
