PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW!
While playing fine, this album has not been well cared for ... cover is a little on the "I'm 50 and feeling a bit sad and worn out side" and the vinyl has not been properly handled but surprisingly, the play is actually pretty good.

BRYAN FERRY - Let's Stick Together
Island Records
Cat# L 36046
1976
Australian release
Cover is in good (minus) condition, meaning that there are no tears, no seam splits nor personal writing on the cover BUT it has quite a bit of handling wear after almost 50 years! Actually the graphics are not damaged but you can see the beginnings of a "vinyl ring" and at the top of the spine it is a little damaged but the spine remains intact.
New inner plastic sleeve
Vinyl is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see a number of scratches and/or marks on either side and I was a bit dubious of how this would play - she is NOT a pretty lady!
Just looking at the vinyl isn't good enough to make a judgement so I then played this ENTIRE album, both sides and every track. The record is "flat" and no warping was apparent (thank goodness!) and much to my surprise the playback wasn't bad at all - a joy for me too because I really enjoy Bryan's early work. NO dreaded mis-tracking and while there was an increased level of surface noise and some low level clicks/pops (particularly on Side A), it was still good to listen to. A mark on Side B concerned me but as the stylus ran over the area, not a peep! There are no issues with surface noise or click/pops.
Outer protective plastic sleeve
