The cuts I test-played on this 1961 Bobby Darin monaural LP sound great, with just a hint of background noise once in a great while. Examined in strong light, the vinyl is glossy with a few very light, insignificant marks. The jacket is clean and bright with very little wear except for some roughness at the upper left corner. The upper right corner has been bumped. PLEASE NOTE: For some reason, my photo of the front cover has a greenish tint, but it actually is a bright white. This is the first release of this record, identified as such by the ATCO "yellow heart" label with the catalog number 33-131. (Reissues had different labels.) The current Goldmine price guide lists the first release at $50 in near mint. I will combine shipping on multiple orders. For $4.60, I can send you one to three LPs in a package designed specifically for the purpose. Shipping for more than three adds a dollar per LP. I don't use stock photos. All pictures are of the item you will receive. Thanks for your interest.
