Tsubasa Tamura - Ballad for Hamp / JAZZ PRESTIGE ＜LP Record＞

▪️ This is a listing of LP records collected in the early 1980s.
▪️ After CDs became popular in the late 1980s, I no longer had the opportunity to listen to records, and I have kept them until today.
▪️ Therefore, the jackets and obi (sleeve bands) have some stains and dirt, but the record surfaces have no scratches or mold.
▪️ I do not have a turntable, so I cannot check the playback recently, but I am not listing any records that skipped when I listened to them at the time.
▪️ No individual discounts. I will offer a discount for 【bulk purchases】 of up to 5 items.
