SORRY - NO SOUND LINKS FOR EITHER SIDE

(US: Blue Rock B-4022, 1965)

Styrene

Record condition (Side One): Excellent +++ (plays Excellent ++++)
Record condition (Side Two): Excellent +++ (plays Excellent ++++)

Label condition (A-side): Excellent

Label condition (B-side): Very Good ++

Both sides of the styrene look pretty close to perfect, with a smattering of feathery "spiders webs" dotted here and there (visual condition).

Both sides play like new throughout (sound quality).

The A-side label has several small spots of bubbling, with the associated faint friction wear at the tips. The B-side label has slightly more bubbling/whitening, plus a light amount of ring-wear/friction wear in places.

This record has been played on both sides to verify condition, but there's a full money-back guarantee on all my sales, and I'll refund anyone who isn't totally captivated. The majority are sent by 'signed for' delivery (inclusive in the P&P cost).
