"In an effort to pre-determine the demerits of Spike Jones Murders Carmen, a number of scientific tests were made. The results are given below:
Thirty-seven giraffes, listening to the recording individually did not make a single adverse comment.
Nineteen prominent music critics, after hearing the recording played with, and without, a needle in the phonograph, stated unanimously that this recording was the only one they had ever heard in which the needle absence made absolutely no difference.
And on it goes - you get the idea....
Cover is in good condition, cellotape has been used (carefully) to strengthen the spine and opening slot. These are not damaged but seemed to have been fitted as a precaution.
Previous owners name has been written on the front and rear of the cover.
Outer protective sleeve is supplied
Vinyl is in very good condition, just one little scuff mark on Side A - very light
