PLEASE READ - Due to the rarity of this LP I have listened to the whole LP and here is the report. Lovely looking disc with full gloss, however, side 1: there are three lines traversing the LP which cannot be felt, during the first half (quieter passages) of Carmen there is light popping and some bacon fat, the rest of side one is fine with just the occasional pop. No sticks, hiss or jumps.Side 2 is in the main fine but it clicks for about 20 revolutions towards the end of Havanaise. All of the aforementioned noise in no way detracts from or overpowers the music. In the main then, great audio but if you are of a fussier nature you'd best pass on this one, if like me, you think of minor noise as "character" you may bag a bargain! My grading then is Side 1, vg / Side 2 vg for the vinyl and vg+ to ex for the cover.
I do combine shipping!
