SUPER-RARE!
DECCA SXL 2197 WBG ED1 STEREO LP 1960 1ST PRESS 2E/2E  Original scalloped flipbacks.
SLEEVE EX+ good laminate, a few wrinkles, no lifting or tears. good intact flip-backs, quite clean. minimal corner/shelf wear. over-all a very good sleeve!
VINYL  vinyl is still very glossy,  there are some light rub lines and marks to both sides, not many.
side 1 there are a couple of more feelable marks to side 1, lp plays with some ticking, and light crackle mainly in the earlier parts, leaving the rest to play well, with light static / click here and there.  the quieter parts of the incredible solos are clear, and the quality of the pressing comes through. side 2 plays better. the rub lines are non audible, and there is a little static occasionally, possibly but overall a great listen throughout.
not a perfect copy but certainly very respectable!

discs are cleaned on PROJECT VCS MK2 and play graded.

packed correctly in quality cruciform record mailers, removed from sleeve
