• Audio & Play-Test Note: This record has been audio-tested to confirm it plays through without any skips, jumps, or sticks. As with most vintage vinyl, minor background surface noise (such as occasional faint crackle or dust pops in quiet passages or lead-ins) may still be present.

• Storage & Cleaning Note: This record is listed in its authentic, as-found condition from storage and has not been deep-cleaned. As with all vintage vinyl, a professional deep clean prior to playing is recommended to achieve optimal sound quality and remove residual surface dust.
