NO RESERVE Condition: the vinyl is visually VG+ with a minimum of light marks and scuffs. There is an area of discoloration
on side two about the width of and in the location of the last song. Its a couple of inches long.
Fortunately it dosn't play any differently than the rest of the disc.
Album plays nicely. There is an occassional very light click, with emphasis on occassional; not very often
at all - and an emphasis on light... a .5 to a 1.5 out of 10 for loudness. No noticeable back ground
surface noise. But there is - I would call it - an underlying "very soft hiss" which for the vast majority
of the playing time is so quiet; so unobtrusive,  that the impact on the listening experience, for the average
listener, would be very close to zero. The only time its noticeable, generally, is between tracks. Maybe
its the result of the relatively primitive recording techniques and equipment of the 1950s, or the
pressing, I don't know. The cover is has a front portion that looks pretty good but the rest of the specifics are:
There is overlying laminate missing, in 4 areas mainly: a few millimeters on the front along the top
and along the left edge, on the back along the top edge that is wider but is patchier and lastly, in a strip 
that you can see in the photo on the right side on the back. SEE PHOTOS. Also top edge is comletely split.
Cover graded G++.
