The record is in good condition. There is a chip on one side of the centre hole however, this does not affect playing the record. This record is approximately 3/8" thick. We are not sure if this is the original sleeve for this album.
It was quite difficult to photograph the record because the title and picture of Edison seem to be etched, the glare prevented better pictures.
