This record in this condition grade has recently sold at eBay auction at my asking price - Record is pressed deeply and seems to play a grade or so better than the technical condition would suggest - Technical condition of record is G with numerous small surface scratches which can be felt and which produce some crackly surface noise and light ticks throughout - Record did not skip and sounded better than you would expect every place where I randomly play tested it, I cannot say for sure whether or not you would encounter any skips when you go to play the entire album.  Labels have a little wear around the center hole.  Condition of cover is also probably G/VG- with 10" splits in the top and bottom edges which I have carefully and neatly repaired with clear tape, some small wrinkles in the front cover slick, some ring and contact wear, and a considerable amount of wear and flaking along the edges and on the corners.  Plain white paper inner sleeve is in good shape with no splits or tears.
This rare and sought after LP would still be a worthy addition to any Joe Bataan or Latin soul / salsa record collection!  $3.85 SHIPPING via USPS Media Mail.  NO SHIPPING TO AREAS OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND PUERTO RICO.  BUYER PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH - IT PROBABLY WILL NOT GET HERE! I will give an immediate refund (less shipping) upon return of the LP in the above stated condition if buyer is dissatisfied for any reason. Good luck!
