                                ** PLEASE READ FULLY BEFORE YOU BID **

Original 1968 UK pressed (by Decca) on London SH.8383 in much rarer stereo compared to mono for that period. Great Latin American soul & salsa rhythms which make you want to dance your socks off after a few bottles of vino!  It's a bit of a classic......listen to the clips.

VINYL.... VERY GOOD .  Has faint wispy superficial surface scratches on both sides ( no deep feelable ones at all) but is still bright in appearance. Fully play-checked and in parts plays with light crackles (no loud clicks, no skips) , some parts play cleanly. Most evident surface noise on initial blank run-ins but reduces greatly as it progresses. The audio sample I have included above is a fair reflection of its quality overall. The recording not been tampered with in any way...what you hear is what you get.  Record labels are in great shape.

Extremely light wear to all four corners.  No edges worn through, all solid. Edge on opening side shows some light feathering only.
