The jacket has some scratches but still looks decent and the vinyl appears perfect! This is my first Yma album and the $1.00 price made it all that much sweeter! Does anyone do what I do? You find one exotica album and instead of being content you have to dig through the stacks of Mantovani hoping for more. I have visions of an old-timer having to unload his exotica record collection and me going to get a shopping cart to truck them all to the check-out counter! It never happens like that but there's always hope!
