Up for your consideration here is "Portrait of a Gemini" by Penny Goodwin on the private Sidney label, catalog # S101. The LP is VG with some scuffs and light scratches (please be aware that this is common on nearly all copies of this janky private press LP. There are also small vinyl bubbles and other signs of it being poorly pressed. I played a few spots though, and it sounds quite nice. There will be an occasional light click or pop, but no loud ones or distracting repeated clicks. The cover comes with the same caveats.....this was a janky production. If you've never seen an original, they are weird. So the outer cover was made so flimsy that they included cardstock "stiffeners" to add some solidity or structure to the cover. Many times, these are missing. But this one has them intact. The top seams shows some rubwear and there is light ringwear and rubwear throughout. But I have seen sealed originals.....and they also exhibited most of the "unprofessional" printing quality and look of this one. Some might call that the "charm" of collecting private press LPs.
