I bought this in New York while on holidays...it was playing as I looked around. Customers sang along to it and I instantly loved it. When it was finished the owner put it back on his wall...anyway, I bought it immediately and always associate it with that great memory.
The record is good sounding even in vg+ condition. It's slightly muffled and perhaps age has taken some dynamism from it. However...the production and music it contains is incredible. -

Go for the 1984 or 1987 re-issue pressings, as they sound superior to the original pressings, and are on Quieter vinyl.
