Think Spanish/American/Mexican dance music - very enjoyable!

Heavy cardboard cover is in good condition, no tears, no seam splits, no personal writing and the edge wear is only light. The rear of the cover has a "Promotional Only" ink stamp applied (centre area)
New inner plastic sleeve is supplied
Vinyl media is in good (minus) condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source I can see a few very light ~ light scratches or scuff marks on either side, with a couple of "heavier" scratches on either side. Just looking at the vinyl is not a good way to judge the vinyl condition, particularly because this is the nice old "heavy & hard" vinyl which isn't so prone to surface damage causing audio issues. So I then played the album ENTIRELY, every single track on each side, and while there is certainly a slightly elevated level of surface noise (most noticeable in the inter-track silence area), this is not of great concern at all. Yes, those heavier scratches do result in some low level click click click events but these are not particularly troublesome. Overall, this album remains a nice Latin playback
There are absolutely NO mis-tracking events!
