Absolutely beautiful copy of the original 1981 pressing of ELO’s final masterpiece LP, Time, on Jet FZ-37371. Features their cult classic, Ticket to the Moon, and so many other greats. One of their best, but oddly overlooked at the time, and so kind of rarer than their other records, as it only had one pressing and was never repressed or reissued until recently. This is a beautiful original, still in the original shrinkwrap, with the original K-Mart price sticker. The disc plays completely flawlessly and just beautifully. There are some of those superficial spots that come from the acid in the paper sleeve but they are not damage or wear at all. Also the disc is very very slightly (really I mean SLIGHTLY) warped, but it is barely noticeable. It really and honestly does not affect the play at all and is not dramatic in any way. It won’t make the needle jump (as it is barely at all a warp at all) and doesn’t make a warbling sound (as it is barely a warp at all) and is really barely noticeable (as it is barely a warp at all)… I only mention it to be clear about every aspect. This is a near perfect disc and it sounds just beautiful. The cover is mint perfect. The inner sleeve is also just beautiful, with only slight signs of use. This is truly a top, top copy. Very hard to beat.
