RECORD:  G+  Multiple hairlines, light marks and scratches, sleeve marks on both sides.  Strong fidelity and volume.  Plays quite well with consistent background crackle, tics.  We have included audio sample in this listing. First half of track 1 on side two has groove flaw that made it unplayable for my system due to needle jumps. The rest of the lp played fine.     1956 Original. Lexington Ave. address  on labels.
