This is one of many forthcoming auctions from a fastidious collector. Nearly every record in his collection appears to be unplayed, and most the covers look nearly untouched. Nearly every record I played has been M- or very close to it. Each one will be graded individually, and I assure you these are some of the cleanest records you will
ever hear.

Title: Trout Mask Replica
Label/Catalog : Straight STS 1053
