Comments:
ON SALE - Vinyl LOOKS rough, but we have cleaned on a VPI and play tested; there are NO SKIPS and surface noise is MINIMAL, though definitely present, particularly between tracks. This was tested on our Fluance, obviously you know the sensitivity of your own system. Jacket has 1-2" splits in top and bottom seams, 1/2" split in spine. Slight discoloration from age.
 

Notes:
