Urugian release
Very basic cover is in good condition. This is probably the most basic of covers, one sheet of printed paper acting as the front (Yellow background) and heavier cardboard for the rear - no joins or seam splits, a bit like a "cover sandwich" for the vinyl. Also note the small hole through both parts of the cover, this indicates that this record was a "deleted product" at some stage and punched so that it would no longer be suitable for retail sale. This was not due to a fault with the record but for various reasons, the vinyl was withdrawn from sale by the distributor or record label. No personal writing, no tears or other physical damage.
Cover(s) and record labels are all in Spanish, issued for the local market in Uruguay.
New inner clear plastic sleeve.
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a bright White halogen light and I can see a few scratches on either side. Most appear to be very light - light HOWEVER one mark at the run-in area on Side 1 concerned me. Just taking a look at the vinyl doesn't cut it and can often be deceiving (particularly with older "hard" vinyl) so I then played the ENTIRE album, every single track, there are no significant issues with surface noise on either side and generally very low numbers of click/pops EXCEPT in the location of the mark on Side 1. While there is no mistracking, there is the dreaded click, click, click for a duration of approximately 22 seconds from the opening bars on track 1. Not terribly loud but they can easily be heard .... the remainder of Side 1 and all of Side 2 have no significant issues with click/pop events.
New outer protective sleeve (which keeps the whole package nice and secure!)
