MUSICIANS GUIDE – Volume 2 (Compilation Sampler)Elektra records
Cat# E1-60136
1982
USA release
Heavy card cover is in good (minus) condition. No writing, no tears, no seam splits. Note the hole punched in the top most right-hand corner, this is a product deletion mark, meaning that it was returned to the distributor (could be a number of reasons but most often due to lack of sales because retailers could do this back in the day). The product is NOT faulty, just marked for deletion so that it cannot be sold retail any longer.
New inner plastic sleeve Vinyl is in good condition, visually inspected under a white halogen light source and I can see some light marks/scratches on either side. Just looking at the vinyl is not a good way to judge the condition so I then played the album ENTIRELY, every single track, and there are no significant issues with surface noise or clicks/pops although there is a slightly increased level of surface noise. Nice compilation of various jazz styles
