Description: Hi! You're looking at a SUPERB condition LP Vinyl Set which is a 1966 pressing of a classic Exotica / Lounge Music / Easy Listening album by 101 STRINGS featuring the exotic music of the Middle East and titled "East of Suez"--the album features a wonderful belly dancer kitsch cheesecake cover. The LP is a Budget Records, Inc. / Alshire issue and a 1966 issue with the serial number S-5027; it's a STEREO issue and was made in the United States. This LP is in SUPERB condition and the vinyl is in NEAR MINT- condition and should play beautifully, with some light paper scuffing on some of the surfaces that should not significantly affect play and no other significant flaws; the cover is in beautiful NEAR MINT condition with partially intact original shrinkwrap missing only on the right portion of the front cover and has just slight shelfwear and a tiny purple original inspection stamp on the upper right corner of the back cover--it's NOT a cutout! Vinyl Grading Standards (unless otherwise indicated, LPs are visually graded) Mint (or M) – Sealed and effectively perfect with no signs of wear or ever having been played.Near Mint -- A record with only the slightest evidence of ever having been handled.Very Good Plus Plus (VG++) A very clean record that has no marks aside from slight scuffs and abrasions caused by removal from a paper inner sleeve or perhaps a few marks on the label caused by a turntable spindle.Very Good Plus (VG+) A record that has had a number of plays and may have some superficial scuffs, possibly mild to moderate spindle marks and / or possibly hairline scratches on the vinyl, which may produce some intermittent pops and possibly very light background noise.Very Good (VG) A record that has generally been well cared for, but has seen a fair amount of play, with some scuffing. hairline scratches, spindle marks and / or light scratches. Should play through well, with the possibility of more pops and more background noise.Very Good Minus (VG-) A record with significant scuffs, scratches, and spindle marks that should play through with moderate pops and surface noise, possibly of some duration.Good (G) A record with will play through, but with significant pops, substantial background noise, and possibly intermittent skipping.Poor (P) A record with MAJOR issues that will interfere with play, and will possibly be unplayable in part due to damage (I'll only offer an LP in this condition if it's an extreme rarity and / or for cover art display purposes). A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this vinyl LP! Thanks very much for looking, and good luck if you're bidding! Also be sure to check out all of my other records, Compact Discs, books, audiobooks, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs on ebay auctions--I can combine shipping for multiple purchases in any combination EXCEPT in the case of LPs (I can combine shipping for any number of LPs together, but due to packaging safety issues I CANNOT ship LPs together with CDs, books, audiobooks, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs).
