FIRST PRESSING AND DEMONSTRATION LISTENING SAMPLE

I AM NOT AN AUTHORITY ON VINYL HOWEVER,  I WILL SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE NICEST COVERS AND LP I'VE SEEN.

Cover is beautiful!

ONE OF THE FIRST POP RECORDS TO BE RELEASED AS A 12" ALBUM WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE THE FIRST CONCEPT ALBUM. ITS THEME TOUCHES ON THE SUBJECTS OF LONELINESS AND UNREQUITED LOVE. IT IS VIEWED AS A PERSONAL RECORD OF HIS TROUBLED RELATIONSHIP WITH THEN WIFE, AVA GARDNER. MANY CRITICS HIGHLY REGARD THIS ALBUM AS SINATRA'S GREATEST EFFORT.

The vinyl has a faint hairline scratch that does not affect the music. The album plays perfectly and the sound quality is excellent (magical). Old blue eyes sounds fabulous! The perfect album for lovers. More pics upon request and thank you for looking.
