THE SLEEVE

THE SUPERBLY ILLUSTRATED PICTURE SLEEVE HAS SILK-SCREENED ILLUSTRATIONS AND TEXT AND LOOKS GREAT. THERE IS SOME TANNING AND THERE ARE SMALL AREAS OF DAMAGE TO THE TWO CORNERS AT THE OPENING. THIS ICONIC SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.AND APART FROM THE FLAWS MENTIONED THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY BLACK VINYL APPEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED THIS CLASSIC ALBUM AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT. I NOTICED SOME LIGHT SURFACE NOISES DURING SIDE ONE, WHICH WERE TYPICAL OF A JAMAICAN PRESSING. SIDE TWO PLAYED REALLY WELL. IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY DON DRUMMOND WAS ONCE CELEBRATED AS ONE OF THE FIVE GREATEST TROMBONISTS IN THE WORLD!!
