CHRIS LEDOUX German Double LP Gatefold -

$

328

This is an extremely rare Chris LeDoux double LP with a gatefold cover.  The title of the album is Years of Country Music and it was released on the German record label Jupiter Records.  The album title and track list is printed in English, but all other information is printed in German.

The vinyl is shiny and looks to be hardly played, but has some hardly noticeable light scratches on record 1 when held in the light, but I see no scratches at all on record 2.  I have listened to both albums and they sound great with very little white noise and no pops.  I would grade the vinyl to be NM.  The vinyl labels have very little wear to them, but there is a german address stamp on 1 side of each record. 

The gatefold cover is in very nice shape with no ring wear.  There is a crease on the bottom right side of the back of the cover, approximately 4 inches long.  There are identical creases on the bottom right side of the left side of the inside cover and bottom left side of the right side of inside cover.  Crease does not show on the front of the cover.  All three creases seem to have been made at the same time.  The top and bottom edges of the cover have scuffing and shelf wear.  Both top edges have the beginning of seam splits, approxitmately 1 inch on both top edges (front section and back section of gatefold).  The cover has no ink writing on in, but it looks like someone had a piece of paper setting on top of the front cover and wrote on it with a pen or pencil, leaving indentation of the writing on the cover.  You have to tilt the cover under light to see the indentations, but they are there.  There are also corner bumps and shelf wear to the corners. 

I have listed everything that I can see on the cover and the vinyl, but overall it is a great item for being 30 years old!  The tracks on this double LP are:
