Celia, Johnny, Justo, Papo - Recordando El Ayer LP / Vaya Records VS-52 - 1976

Great record with Johnny, the co-founder of the great Fania Records label. Cover is a strong VG. Minor chipping on one edge, a small corner ding & some discoloration on back, as seen in pics. Nothing serious. Please see photos. Vinyl is VG+. Some hairline scuffing likely from the vinyl being inside of cover but outside of the paper inner sleeve. Its these type of surface hairline marks. This was not heavily played, at all. Guaranteed! Extremely light crackling on the last rotations of track 3 & 4. Literally a few & nowhere close to overpowering the music. Otherwise the rest of this side plays ex as well. A very solid, very worthy copy! No loud pops on the entire record. Fully play tested for an accurate detailed grade. No surprises! I take grading & packing very serious. All vinyl removed from cover to avoid splits & packed in a new mailer, with padding. See feedback & buy with confidence. Best offers welcome
