Purchased by my parents at the time of its release in 1957. This 65-Year old Album was taken good care of. The 2 Vinyl records have no signs of use, except if you are close enough can see it has been played by the center spindle hole. Comes with the original cover that is in great shape considering it is 65 years old, and retained its color well, there are no record impressions or rings on it since this has been standing up in the same console stereo for 65 years, but there is slight splitting at the top of the album as shown in the photos. The inner record protection sleeves are color advertisements for KAPP Records.
Please feel free to message and I will try to answer any questions you may have.
