Heavy card cover is in very good condition, no personal writing, only light edgewear due to handling, no seam splits - truly very good condition for around 50 years age!
New inner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light source and I can see NO marks or scratches on either side. This is one of our "special collection" and looked after and played by those who would take care with it at my previous audio post production business. So let's have one last listen to this very good man o' the Blues ...
I have played the ENTIRE album, every track on both sides, and there are no issues at all with surface noise nor clicks or pops on either side. Yes, the very occasional low level click here or there whilst playing but no dramas at all. Sad to see you hit the road Sam!
New outer protective sleeve
TRACKS: Short Haired Woman, Bottle It Up And Go, Long Time, The Foot Race Is On, Prison Blues Come Down On Me, Bunion Stew, Mama And Papa Hopkins, Get Off My Toe, Trouble In Mind, Till The Gin Runs Out, When The Saints Go Marchin' In
