Tanner's paintings(excerpts taken from the liner notes).The record is in VG++ condition,for about 30 seconds or more of the beginning there is a small pop from a scratch but the rest is in very good condition.The cover is in very good condition with some ring wear and a two inch seam split on the bottom center also on the back seam there is some beginnings of a split on the upper and bottom corners .Buyer pays for shipping $3.50 ,Intl rates $12.00 air $6.00 ground.Thanks for looking...
