Leslie Baily – BBC Scrapbook For 1945 (Vocal Field Recording Monologues) LP Vinyl Record

Decent British reissue likely from the early 70s.

Broadcasts and reports from 1945.

Released in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

One of the first collections available of contemporary reports and news just pre- and post-victory in 1945.

Condition
VINYL: G. Superbly clean. Just one faint hairline scuff through track 1 on side 2. No other marks, scuffs or hairlines. Played just pre-listing and sound clarity is good overall - but very good in places. Run-ins are very crackly with some static and surface noise. Static and surface noise throughout and during quieter cues/fadeouts, but some cues sound better than others, due in part to quality of archive recordings. Plays with no jumping, skipping or sticking.
OUTER SLEEVE/COVER: EX. Colours are unfaded on gloss front and back. Corners, edges, spine and aperture in great shape with no obvious major defects. Just a few light scuffs and marks in places and mild creases. Back cover in super condition with just a few mild creases and faint disc outline. Could be hard to find a better example. A great sleeve overall.
INNER SLEEVE: EX. Off-white yellowed poly-lined paper sleeve with blue text one side. A few corner folds and very light crinkling but clean and intact.
