Here I have for sale the British issue of the soundtrack to "The BBC's Tribute To John F. Kennedy" (1963, dir. Dave Lee), part of the That was the Week that Was news programme on the BBC. Written by Bernard Levin, Caryl Brahms, Christopher Booker, David Frost, Herbert Kretzmer.

This album has never had a release on CD so this remains the only available source for this BBC teleplay soundtrack. A moving tribute recorded the day after Kennedy's assassination.

Condition (refer also to notes at bottom):
Vinyl: VG. Looks very clean on visual inspection. No obvious marks across the surface of either side. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is very good throughout. Plays with no skipping, jumping or sticking. A decent listening experience to a very historic recording from November 1963.
Outer Sleeve (Cover): G. Colours are clear and unfaded on laminated front. Lamination bubbled on left side near spine. Some creasing round disc outline mainly in top right. Corners are nicked but spine intact and edges remain pinched and fine. Aperture is soiled/yellowed with some mild wear. Yellowing to reverse side but flipbacks are intact. Some minor marks and soiling around disc outline again. A decent example overall.
Inner Sleeve: VG. Off-white paper with squared corners and central hole with plastic lining. Handling instructions on one side. A few minor creases/folds though normal handling.

ITEM CONDITION - items are graded according to Record Collector definitions - see below:

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.

FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.

POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
