THIS VINYL CONDITION IS A LITTLE ON THE NOISY SIDE - SEE MY DESCRIPTION

Not only great early Joe Cocker classics but the sound of the recording is very nice - I can hear instruments clearly on this recording that I have not heard on others

Cover is in very good condition. light creasing to the front and rear. No seam splits, no writing. Light handling wear, particularly to the opening edge
New inner plastic sleeve
The following vinyl description should be read in the context that I am VERY fussy - to others they may not be bothered at all by the surface noise
I use a very low styli pressure (less than 1g) in an effort to pickup any tracking issues
Vinyl is in good MINUS condition, examined carefully using a halogen light source I can see a large number of light scratches/scuff marks on each side.
I then played the entire album, the surface noise is certainly higher than normal particularly during quieter passages. A number of clicks/pops too although these are most often of a low level.
Absolutely NO mistracking - no scratches are that bad.
But oh my goodness, this is such great music from Joe Cocker. His early days with many classics that will instantly transport you back to the 1970's era
I do not know the source used for the recordings but this album is particularly good.
New outer protective sleeve
