Cat# CJ-219
1983
USA release
Cover (heavy card) is in very good condition, no tears, no seam splits and very light edge wear from handling BUT there is an obvious small "white area/spot" on the front cover - previous retail label was not removed properly.
New inner plastic liner sleeve
Vinyl is in very good condition on both sides, visually inspected carefully under a white halogen light source and I can see only a couple of very light scratchs/marks on each side but only a visual inspection of a vinyl record just doesn't cut it most of the time (and I love listening to the music anyway) so I have played both sides of this album ENTIRELY. There are no issues with surface noise or clicks/pops, even during the very quiet passages of music. Very nice laid back "dinner or just play relaxing" music
TRACKS: Shine On Your Shoes, How Do You Say Auf Wiedersehen?, Oleo, Stardust, Hi Fly, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, What's This, Away In The Manger, 'Here's To My Lady
