 This record is in as close to mint condition as you are going to find for a vinyl that was printed in 1959 it plays perfectly without any flaws no scratches or warping whatsoever it is the No inc !!! Copy with silver text !!! That’s right it’s actually the real deal and without any flaws !!! The only thing I feel obligated to mention is the wear on the top right corner as shown in detail in the pictures… remember this record is from 59’ this is very normal … besides that it is a perfect record and cover the rice paper sleeve is also intact with only a couple fold wrinkles… the last example of this quality sold for 1,100 plus !!! Happy Bidding and Good luck!!
