Description
From a collector‑owned, single‑owner archive of 30+ 1960s–70s LPs, all stored together since purchase.
This copy of Desire is in exceptional, collector‑grade condition — the vinyl has the deep mirror gloss of a record that appears never played, and the jacket + inner sleeve show almost no aging at all. This is one of the cleanest examples of this title you will find.

STORAGE HISTORY
