Has its original factory inner sleeve, some creasing around the shape of disc, and a bit yellowed on the opening edge side.
I have not cleaned either Record at all. It’s amazing they are in such fine condition at almost 60years old.
A high starting price, sorry, didn’t want to risk letting them go to cheap, have other early fine classical to put on so please watch out for my other items.
