The Cover: Fair condition with cello-tape removal marks on the reverse, bumps on the corners and some creasing to the opening. No pen marks or split seams and still has a good glossy finish to the laminated front.
The Vinyl: Fair condition with three prominent needle marks close to eachother covering three tracks, and plenty of whispy superficial needle scratches on both sides. Nothing deep into the vinyl that severely affects playback.
The Audio: I have played it several times since it has been in my collection and the playback is Good. It plays from start to finish on both sides with no jumps, sticks or loud ticks. There is crackling in several places, especially on side 1 and it is more apparent during quieter sections. The sound is clear and more crisp on side 2. This is Cliff Richard singing in Spanish with some recognisable tunes.
The inner sleeve is in great condition and is original to this LP. It is the Emitex advertising with Patents applied for.
This 52 year old LP would be great as a vintage collection item, and to listen to.
This item will be housed in a new thick PVC sleeve as shown and will be delivered in a protective layered cardboard LP envelope.
