MONO RECORDING
USA release
Cover is in very good condition - very stiff cardboard used, archival grade. Light handling marks but no seam damage or tears HOWEVER a previous owners name on the rear of the cover. Cover has a gloss finish.
Includes the original inner printed record jacket - all mono print except the Atlantic logo
Record label is a very old Atlantic black with silver print
Vinyl is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source I can see just a few very light scratch or scuff marks. I then played both sides and was surprised at the surface noise, not excessive but present through most of the recording - vinyl appearance can be deceiving. Still a very nice "laid back" play but you can hear just a low level amount of surface noise which is not helped by a recording which is also quite low in level.
New outer protective plastic sleeve
Tracks: Close Your Eyes, Stuffy, Don't Take Your Love From Me, Get Happy, Sandra's Blues, Indian Blues
