Condition and Playback
The vinyl retains a lovely glossy appearance and has been play-tested.
Side A plays very well.
There is one noted playback issue on Blue Spanish Sky, the opening track on Side B. A visible scratch causes some audible crackle during much of the song. However, the track plays through without skipping and remains an enjoyable listen.
The remainder of the record plays well.
The original outer sleeve is in VG condition, showing some edge wear, creasing and corner wear consistent with age. The original illustrated inner sleeve is included.
An attractive original 1989 US pressing with the additional collector appeal of a gold-stamped promotional sleeve.
A great addition to any Chris Isaak collection, particularly for collectors of original vinyl pressings and promotional records.
Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
