You're the kind of audiophile that wants to hear music the 'good old fashioned way' with all the snaps, crackles, skips, and pops. If this describes you, then this is your LP! This is an authentic article but will definitely give you the 'good old' sounds you hope for. The music is there, as are all the 'extras' you've been looking for! Enjoy music the way it was heard 'back in the day'! The album and cover have signs of wear and use as you would expect from this vintage item. The paper liner may or may not be included. The previous owner's name may appear on the cover (see photo). This item is from an estate so I have many to list and cannot take the time to be precise in my description of each one. Please don't expect perfection with this item (look at photos closely). IF you want perfect sound, then you should order a CD. If nothing else, this item is worth the listing price if only to be used as a decor item for a bar or restaurant. Thank you for looking!
