This album was purchased new in late 1959 from Middleton`s, Chapel Ash, W`ton.
The disc is in excellent condition, without surface marks and plays perfectly without jumps. One faint click midway through "Milestones"; 4 successive very faint clicks at 6 o`clock, three minutes into "Billy Boy" (no reason visible for this even under 10X magnification) and one click towards the end of  "Straight, No Chaser". The runoffs are stamped AA 682030 ^ 1L (or 2L) = 1 // 420
The very thin card, fully laminated outer sleeve is without tears, scratches or creases. One only 30mm split and small losses of colour at front, upper LH corner  and faint staining of the slot edges, following removal of clear tape.
